I have been studying computer sience since 1998 at University of
Karlsruhe (Germany). After I finished my undergraduate degree I
was active in the Fachschaft Mathematik/Informatik, the student's
representatives of mathematics and computer science, where I was
responsible for counselling younger students in trouble with
examination regulations and for administration of the LAN and the
local workstations. In a growing team I reorganized the computer
infrastructure, and we finally managed to create and host our own
website, and share a common fileserver at different locations
across a new VPN.
For more than three and a half years I have been responsible for
the administration of computers used for the control of humanoid
robots, part of a currently ongoing research project funded by the
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). These computers all run
Debian GNU/Linux. Additionally I have been operating since 2003 a
little hosting business mainly providing webspace and mail services
on a Debian box.
The first time I heard about Linux was still in school when a
friend from university told me about it. But it took another two
years until I were on my own at university for my first
installation of Linux on my computer; a colleague lend me his SuSE
CDs and it was done. The oddness (concerning the handling compared
to Windows boxes) in configuration and usage were discouraging at
first, but the possibility to get a look behind the scenes has
always been motivating me to do new things. So I got more and more
used to GNU Software and Linux.
The very same colleague was the first of whom I heard about Debian.
He was very excited about Debian's strive to build a completely
free (as in free speach) and legally straight and independent Linux
distribution, completely built by volunteering people. This was
indeed impressive, but in the very end it was the high quality and
stability which convinced me to use Debian as my Linux Desktop
environment. Moreover I was happy to get rid of the bad conscience
of using partly illegal copied software on my computer.
I really got involved into Debian when I began to package the
online-banking library AqBanking. I even don't know now why at all
I started to dig into Debian's packaging howto. I nowadays assume
it was again curiosity peered with the need for understanding more
about Debian's packaging internals at my work with the humanoid
robots. When I packaged AqBanking I didn't even dream about getting
more involved into Debian than being a simple user (I thought this
would be far to hard to accomplish, but at that time I didn't know
anything about what's needed to become a DD). I just wanted to let
other users of AqBanking benefit from my packaging work. But the
one day it happened that Thomas Viehmann, who was independently
working on AqBanking packages too, uploaded my package into the
official Debian archive. That surprised me a lot, but boosted my
motivation to carry on with packaging AqBanking. Thenceforward
Thomas acted as my uploading sponsor and the work began.
Other contributions to Debian consists of several bug reports and
some backports on www.backports.org (currently there is a debhelper
backport). Since I am still a confident Debian Etch user other
backports of software I need in newer versions might follow.
Contributing backports is definitely an area of interest. Another
possible area of interest are the official WWW pages on
www.debian.org: Some pages are simply inaccurate or outdated and I
would like to contribute to fix that (sure, if I get permission to
do so).
