• Active member of Ubuntu's [wiki:CatalanTeam Catalan LoCo Team]

• Developer of [https://launchpad.net/freevial Freevial] and [wiki:QtTube QtTube], between others (I also created #ubuntu-cat's IRC bot)

Development Skills

I started my first website on 2004 with Word (argh!) and have since then learned XHTML, CSS, PHP, a bit of JavaScript and to hate IE :).

I'm also looking into C and C++ since some time, but I haven't made much progress yet (it isn't one of my priorities anyways, at the moment). Around April 2007 I started learning Python, which has now become my favorite language; I also have some experience with PyQt4 (I'm a GNOME user, however). Beside that, of course I also know some bash, and I had a look at Perl but haven't dedicated much time to it neither.

Testimonials

• Siegfried is a very active contributor to the Catalan Ubuntu community, to the degree he co-developed a free Trivial clone so we could enjoy it in the Ubuntu Gutsy presentation party -- Tsdgeos

• Despite his young age, RainCT has been contributing to the CatalanTeam from the beginning: programming team's IRC bot for #ubuntu-cat, helping Catalan community through our mailing list and IRC channel, reporting bugs, updating the team's wiki pages, etc. He's indeed one of the most active members of the CatalanTeam. -- AlexMuntada DateTime(2007-10-25T07:26:35Z)

• Siegfried is a very young but resourceful man, extremely active in our LoCo CatalanTeam. He was among the first people on irc at #ubuntu-cat and one of the most collaborative people there. Also, he answer everything he can on our mailing list, does not miss a single release or install party and is a pretty good Ubuntu evangelist. I was shocked when told me his intentions to become a MOTU, but he already has started to package.-- RafaelCarreras (Catalan LoCo Team Contact) DateTime(2007-10-25T14:39:40Z)

• I've worked with Siegfried in the creation of the python game freevial for the community parties. I've worked with a lot of development teams and I know it's hard to find people with so knowledge and energy (some times too strict for his age). He can be one of the greatest developers if he finds his space to run. -- CarlesOriol DateTime(2007-10-25T19:28:00Z)
