Line 1: Line 1:
I study computer science at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in my second term. Due to my tight schedule I am currently very limited in time but I hope that I could resume my engagement for Free Software as soon as possible. == About me ==
Line 3: Line 3:
In my spare time I am currently working as a Debian developer and my interest lays in the development of a collaborative editor called Gobby. I am 20 years old and currently studying computer science at [http://www.kit.edu Karlsruhe Institute of Technology] in my second term. I got started with Linux in 1999, used Debian since 2002 (woody) and joined the project in 2005 as a developer. In my spare time I am currently administrating a pool of a dozen clients and the corresponding server-side services at [http://www.fsmi.uni-karlsruhe.de Fachschaft Mathematik / Informatik].
Line 5: Line 5:
I work a bit on the Utnubu backmerging team, mainly to get some new software which was not directly contributed back into Debian's archive. My pet package in Debian and Ubuntu is [http://gobby.0x539.de Gobby (a collaborative editor)], of which I am also upstream, and the libraries needed for it. I am also active in the [http://alioth.debian.org/projects/utnubu/ Utnubu backmerging team].

== Why I want to join Ubuntu ==

I appreciate the efforts Ubuntu made to nudge non-technical users to use Linux instead of Windows, or at least in addition to it and keep the technical aspects as much out of the way as possible. So my interest is improving this experience. I am more of a technical user myself,

I actively take care of my Debian packages in Ubuntu (like filing sync requests and fixing bugs filed against the Ubuntu source packages). I want to expand this involvement in the near future. I served as a Debian AM and package sponsor in the past, so reviewing other people's packaging work is no problem for me and I will try to concentrate on getting a MOTU and contribute as a REVU reviewer.
