''As a sponsor, just copy the template below, fill it out and add it to this section.'' According to the [[http://ubuntu-dev.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/ubuntu-sponsorships.cgi?render=html&sponsor=&sponsor_search=name&sponsoree=*sebastian*heinlein*&sponsoree_search=name|Sponsorship Miner]], I just sponsored one of Sebastian's uploads, but I interacted with him much more in the last years. I was constantly amazed by his diligence and attention to detail.

Who I am

In my daily life I work as a Paliative Care nurse in a mobile nursing service of the Catholic Church. I am based in the beautfiul Bavaria - in the north of Munich to be exactly.

My Ubuntu story

I am involved in Free and Open Source Software development for one third of my so far 34 year long life. Starting as a translator for the Synaptic package manager I soon got interested in documentation and user interface design. The main developer of Synaptic and long standing Debian and Ubuntu developer Michael Vogt became a kind of mentor to me and introduced me to the Ubuntu community.

My first UDS was in Paris, 2006. I was mainly working on user interfaces and implementing them using Python but over the time I dived down the package management stack. So after the PackageKit project was started I wrote a Python based APT backend. Unfortunately the technical design policies of PackageKit did not allow to support essential features of APT and the upcoming software-center. This was the time when I created the aptdaemon project which is used as the default

As a "side task" I worked on translating Ubuntu, but I decided to setp back from the lead position of the German translator time because of too limited time resources some years ago.

My involvement

There are some older user interface and application developments (gnome-app-install, software-sources-properties, sessioninstaller,

General feedback

I know Sebastian since 2006 when we started collaborating on Synaptic. We are in contact ever since and its amazing to me to see how much good work Sebastian takes on. In particular his work on aptdaemon and python-defer are essential for the success of software-center. I trust him and his judgement and recommend that we give me upload rights to the packages mentioned above.

Specific Experiences of working together

We worked on aptdaemon, python-defer and sessioninstaller together since the very early days of software-center (~2009) with great success.

Areas of Improvement

If anything maybe packaging, but Sebatian is pretty good at this as well so I'm just mentioning it because I feel like I should mention something here Smile :)
