Summer of Code beendet
Der Google Summer of Code ist beendet. Die Zeit – vor allem kurz vor der Deadline – war super intensiv und ich habe noch nie mehr für ein OpenSource-Projekt innerhalb einer so kurzen Zeit getan wie im SoC, insofern ein großes Dankeschön an Google, dass sie mich gesponsert haben und das Ganze überhaupt möglich gemacht […]
GSoC AppStream Final Report
This year I did a Google Summer of Code Project for OpenSUSE as part of their cross-distribution collaboration track. (Again, many thanks for letting me work on this and for doing a cross-distro track!) So, what did I achieve this summer?

During my SoC project, I also created appstream-core, a small library and infrastructure to create & use the AppStream application database. This project enables all other […]

Von diesen besonders interessant für die Leser […]

Hello openSUSE!

I study Molecular Biomedicine in my second semester in Germany and I use Linux for years now. I contribute to KDE (mainly to Apper, the PackageKit-based KDE package manager) […]
Meet the Tux!
A little follow-up from my last post about birthday presents: I guess I can now consider me a real Linux user/developer, because I now own a big plush Tux, like every good Linux user should do: A great present ^^ The Tux is now sitting next to my desk and I hope he will have […]
