| Professionally, I'm a programmer at Linux and ERP environments working for a young and tiny IT company called ETES GmbH. Some time before I did my apprenticeship to IT specialist field systems integration at Hewlett-Packard Germany as result of my personal interest in computers started in December 1998. And in July 2004, I did my certification as Red Hat Certified Technician - during my apprenticeship, but paid by me! ;-)

| Below you'll find a list of Open Source Projects I was involved in the past. At the end of this page, there are Fedora and EPEL packages listed I'm maintaining or co-maintaining since I got sponsored by Hans de Goede in June 2006. In March 2007, I got Fedora Ambassador with the initial goal to support the LinuxTag 2007 in Berlin/Germany. I'm also part of the Fedora Websites Team for translating the content of the Fedora websites into German. Currently I'm maintaining the German static websites of fedoraproject.org on my domain www.fedora.de.

| With the beginning of RPM Fusion in November 2008, I started to contribute there as well. RPM Fusion is an additional repository for Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux including packages and software which can't go directly into Fedora or EPEL for different reasons. In January 2009, Joerg Simon asked me to be Fedora Community Mentor for Fedora Ambassadors around EMEA. During the Zarafa Summercamp in June 2009, I got the Zarafa Award as Best Open Source Contributor for my contributed patches to build Zarafa on bleeding edge Linux distributions. At the Zarafa Summercamp in June 2010, the Zarafa Award for the Best Community Contribution was hand over to me - for my work and efforts to get the Zarafa Groupware and Z-Push as RPM packages into Fedora and RPM Fusion which finally happened in February 2010.

| Beside of that, I'm participating the RPM5 Project, which is doubtless the leading RPM project - but unluckily still refused by the Fedora Project...
