Your typical FOSS nerd, living in Bochum in the deep west of Germany. My function on this wiki is to maintain the German localization.

Track record:


 * FOSS user since 1998, Linux-only user since March 2006.
 * C++ and Python coder, also good in human-spoken languages (German, English, Latin, a bit of Spanish).
 * Debugging of, cleaning up of codebase, and adding of innovative features/algorithms to a 3D role playing game (codebase 120000 SLOC, mostly C++).
 * Low-level OpenGL programming for said game.
 * Maintaining of the German localization of said game.
 * Adding of a realistic AI to said game, using a self-developed approach of a weighted decision matrix with a small amount of randomness.
 * Maintaining the community wiki for said game.
 * Dropping out of the game team due to exhaustion.
 * Contributing translations to Launchpad.
 * Karma whore on Slashdot.
 * Active commenter on many major FOSS related news sites.

What I still want to do:


 * An internship in a FOSS-friendly company (maybe IBM).
 * An internship in an embedded systems company.
 * Run a "green" full-featured Linux workstation on something that is not x86 based (preferably a smartbook or a Beagle Board).
 * Get a motorcycle again, drop out for a few months and tour most of Europe in that time.
 * Climb a big mountain.
 * Kill Flash with a big shoulder-mounted gun and replace it with standards-friendly SVG+ECMAScript.
