Describe yourself here | My name is Thomas, at the time of this writing I'm 32 years old, married, living in NRW, Germany. Among other things I enjoy travelling, spending time with friends and family, I do read a lot and try to workout regularly (although I'm pretty bad at keeping a regular cadence there :)). |

I have been a Debian user before boarding the Ubuntu train at Warty, 4.10. Since then, I have been using Ubuntu for my day to day work and personal computing needs. With joining Canonical around 11.10, I started working on Ubuntu full-time. | |

Write your goals. | I would like Ubuntu to be the first operating system/platform that is able to power a whole zoo of form-factors and provide users with a beautiful and efficient UX, that is consistent and seamlessly adapting to different usage scenarios, form factors and devices. At the same time I want to make sure that Ubuntu stays as open and accessible as possible, welcoming to newcomers, embracing diversity, offering a place for people to collaborate and build awesome things. |

* Thomas Voss is fantastic. I've met him at various UDSes, saw his work in various places and in the last few months worked together with him on making it easier to contribute to some upstream projects. He's very easy to work with, takes stressful times with his incredible sense of humour and I still have got to visit him - I promised! -- [[LaunchpadHome:dholbach]] <<DateTime(2013-03-15T11:17:14+0100)>> | |

If you know me and have something nice to say, please leave a comment here. | * I have worked with Thomas Voß on the mir project and we had great fun developing a good process, a good team, a good design and great code. He's both very competent and humble enough to carry on learning. -- [[LaunchpadHome:alan-griffiths]] |
