[opensuse-wiki] Allow me to introduce myself
Hello wiki team! As in the LTSP topic, Rajko has accepted my appliance for membership to the wiki team, it seems proper to me to introduce myself! My name is Tim Möhlmann, nick Muhlemmer on the wiki. Userpage: http://en.opensuse.org/User:Muhlemmer Although my last name is an old German name and my nick is German for trashcan (am I correct?), don't be tempted to assume I am German. I come from the Netherlands and life in a nice coastal village called Middelburg. My occupation is Marine Service Engineer and I'm specialised in nuts, bolts, pipes, pumps and electrics. I have a very strong interest in Marine automation, as this touches one off my hobby's: Computers. Throughout the years this became discovering and using linux, openSUSE being my favourite distro. It's a quite similar story like the most off us, seeing to much of window's BSOD, I started looking for alternatives and found Linux. The rest speaks for itself. My biggest frustration in my field of work: more and more automation companies in the marine sector are using Windows as a base OS. Taking in example Norcontroll, the biggest (and it was the most reliable) made a switch from Unix to Windows. Basically as excuse: The "specialists" find it easier to develop Windows based apps. Now I have to tell my costumers: It's not the automation that hangs, it just windows. The only thing I can suggest, reboot every week. As some people may know, rebooting an automation system is a small suicide attempt, there are always some thing not working or properly addressed when the system is back up. Pray it's not our electrical plant or propulsion systems. My big vision, one day build a professional and stable opensource based automation plant for the marine sector. Making it affordable and less binding for service. (If you need norcontroll service, you might have to wait a month or so). Anyway, I'm getting of track here.. back on again: What I do with openSUSE and the wiki * I'm not a wiki expert, neither a linux geek. Although I would like to be, I simply don't have time to be one. * Playing around with Linux is a hobby, which is done in my spare time. * I use the wiki to wright down, or correct what is written, according my own experience. * Doing this I find more to learn and try in Linux, giving me another opportunity to above etc. What can you expect of me in the Wiki-team *Because of my work I'm mostly abroad (last year 210 days), most of the times I work alone. *Although I totally like going to bars and clubs, it's not something I want to be doing every night to kill time. *I use this time for my "hobby" openSUSE and the wiki. *Sometimes I'm on projects that don't have spare time, in this case you will see less to nothing from me. *My days at home are sparse and I've got a girl and house to maintain, also don't expect to much from me in this case. *When I do have time, I'm busy all evening and the long sundays, making up for my downtime. Finally a nice quote, that describes my relation with openSUSE and the wiki: "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand." Conficius (around 500 BC) Hope to have a nice coöperation with you guys!

Tim, Since you and I will probably do some work together, I will take Rupert's suggestion and introduce myself as well : ) My name is Matthew Ehle (either Matt or Matthew is fine with me). Although I am not part of the wiki team, I am the web admin for the openSUSE blogs, wikis, and www page. As such, my job is to help support the wiki team by providing the infrastructure of the systems and wiki software. Although I do this as part of my job, I also happen to be an advocate of openSUSE, Linux, and pretty much anything open source. So you will see me contribute material to the wikis, forum, and blogs from time to time. I live in Provo, UT, USA, where I am working on my Master's in Information Systems. Like you, my journey with Linux started with a general frustration with Windows and an inclination to find something better. During my "conversion", I started working for Novell, which pretty much sealed the deal for me. It also brought me into the world of SUSE Linux, which continues to be by far my favorite distro for server installations. I specialize in LAMP administration and performance testing/engineering. The last thing that you should know about me is that I like to be useful. So if you have any questions or needs regarding the wiki, always feel free to call or shoot me an email.

Hi there, Welcome to both of you :) About my introduction, you can read a bit about me here : http://en.opensuse.org/User:Spyhawk Not really up2date, but I promise to write a newer version as soon as possible. Unfortunately, I've been a bit inactive for a few weeks (new job, new home, and no Internet connexion at home at the moment) but I'll be back very soon. I hope you'll enjoy working on the wiki with the current team :) Regards, R. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org
