About

I'm a freelance software developer from Berlin, Germany. Most of my paid projects won't be published as free software but all do you use/rely on some open source software. And my preferred software stack for doing development is TurboGears , Python and Fedora /CentOS /Red Hat Enterprise Linux .

Therefore contributing to free software projects is a good way to ensure that annoying bugs will get fixed soon and that the features I need make it into the main distribution (so that I don't have to maintain local forks). And of course, free software coding is really fun!

If you (as a Fedora infrastructure developer) have some TurboGears/TurboMail problems, don't hesitate to ping me. Others may take a look at my professional website (www.schwarz.eu ) where you can get professional support for software development and consulting: I have some special knowledge on 'advanced' Python topics like full-featured PDF generation, DATEV file exchange etc. Of course I can help with Linux system administration and packaging, too ;-)

Current Fedora Packages

• pyPdf (will submit the package to EPEL soon)
• python-zope-interface

Co-Maintainership

• python-beaker

Fedora plans

I plan to get pyPdf into EPEL in the next weeks.

Furthermore I'm interested in pulling python-z3c-rml (z3c.rml) into Fedora which means that I have to maintain python-zope-schema as well.

And I need PyLucene too, therefore I built packages for JCC and PyLucene which I'm trying to submit as soon as possible.

Sponsor

Paul Howarth was so kind and sponsored me as a Fedora developer. Furthermore he patiently helped me with all my beginner problems. Thanks again, Paul!
