Activities within the Fedora Project
Ambassador
I'm a Fedora Ambassador sponsored by Jörg Simon
My main goals in my work as an Ambassador is taking Fedora to schools and other educational institutes and talk about the advantages of open source software in educational environments.
I also want to show schools how to get their students started for contributing in open source projects and help them convey the spirit that fuels the open source community.

Education
Due to my involvement in the administration of my schools network I became interested in developing and deploying network solutions aimed at the needs of schools. The specific needs of a school in terms of user and systems management as well as network security are yet to be combined into a software solution that can be installed, deployed and maintained by the average high school teacher. I therefor envision a "Fedora School Server" that gives schools the required tools to manage a modern and secure network. This is a very basic requirement for the successful use of information technology in education that is not covered by any open source solution on the market yet. Once the network aspect is done I hope to continue on integrating educational services and platforms.
Package Maintainer
I'm a Package Maintainer sponsored by Ville Skyttä
I usually package software I find interesting and actually use. That's why the list of packages maintained by me is pretty diverse.
Games SIG
I enjoy playing games. Therefor I joined the Games SIG. As of now I only maintain openttd. But I hope to add some more fine games if time allows.
