Who I am

I am 23 years old, live in Berlin, Germany and studying computer engineering at TU Berlin. Apart from being a computer freak I like to play trumpet and cornet. My hand cannot only click on mouse buttons but also can fold small Origami stars.

My Ubuntu story

My first Ubuntu contact was with 6.06 LTS "Dapper Drake". Since Ubuntu 6.10 "Edgy Eft" I used it as main system. I started diving into packaging after the Packaging Jam in Berlin on 2008-02-06. The first package I worked on was matplotlib 0.91.2 and it finally hit Ubuntu 8.04 LTS "Hardy Heron" on 2008-04-15 after 23 days. On 2008-06-16 I joined the 5-A-Day team at the first Berliner Bug Jam. 60 day later I have worked on 147 bugs.

General feedback

I got to know Benjamin Drung during the Berlin Bug/Packaging Jams and quickly found out that he's doing a great job. I sponsored/reviewed 5-10 of his packages and was particularly impressed with his collaboration with Debian and upstream people which all happened very naturally. I don't know how or when he worked out the know-how for more complicated changes, but I am clearly impressed.

Specific Experiences of working together

Areas of Improvement

For becoming MOTU, Benjamin will just need a bit more of working together with us and I hope to see him at many more bugs / packaging jams. Smile :-)
