His relation to Fedora
- Since 10 years he is fascinated by the evolution of IT, and after 5 years testing and "playing" with different Linux-distro's, he became very interested in Fedora.
- I try to contribute to the Fedora Project by spreading the word about Fedora to young people who aren't familiar with Fedora or even with Linux at all. I also try to translate on regulary base and participate in the Fedora Localization Project.
- My main goal is to migrate as many as possible organizations (mostly non-profits)from MS-enviroments to Fedora or Linux in general. In that process, I try to find solutions for indvidual requirements and Open
Source-alternatives instead of paying closed licenses. Organizations with low budget (especially non-profits) can save millions by just following the OpenSource-philosophy. However, for professional use, I admit also use MS- or other Windows-based software, but only because I have to for my work.
I participate in the following Fedora's projects:
