Skills
- General UNIX-administration, mostly Linux and Tru64 UNIX (+Trucluster)
shell & some perl, other languages read-only for now
- deb-packaging (in-house packages for Ansys, Maple, Mathematica, Matlab and others...)
What I'm interested in
- GNOME, in general
- NFSv4 support. Essential for installations behind insecure networks
- making sure that Ubuntu behaves well in a campus network with hundreds of clients
- improving the framework for automatic installations
- improving various tools aimed at system administrators
VDR (like mythtv/mediacenter but better suited for TV-set-top boxes
Contributions so far
- distributed 650 Hoary CD's for the TKK students in September 2005
- some minor patches, mostly upstream
- bug reports
gtkpod-aac! [http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=1908]
- testing fully automated netboot-installations since May 2004
Todo
- possibly integrate in-house applications/scripts with Ubuntu, they need to be opensourced first
- help make PAM/LDAP/krb5 integration better
more and better VDR-related packages [http://www.e-tobi.net/blog/pages/vdr-repository/], together with Debian, starting with edgy+1.
