Dennis Murczak

Your typical FOSS nerd, living in Wikipedia:en:Bochum|Bochum in the deep west of Germany. My function on this wiki is to maintain the German localization.

Track record:

FOSS user since 1998, Linux-only user since March 2006.

C++ and Python coder, also good in human-spoken languages (German, English, Latin, a bit of Spanish).

Debugging of, cleaning up of codebase, and adding of innovative features/algorithms to a 3D role playing game (codebase 120000 SLOC, mostly C++).

Low-level OpenGL programming for said game.

Maintaining of the German localization of said game.

Adding of a realistic AI to said game, using a self-developed approach of a weighted decision matrix with a small amount of randomness.

Maintaining the community wiki for said game.

Dropping out of the game team due to exhaustion.

Contributing translations to Launchpad.

Karma whore on Slashdot.

Active commenter on many major FOSS related news sites.

What I still want to do:

An internship in a FOSS-friendly company (maybe IBM).

An internship in an embedded systems company.

Run a "green" full-featured Linux workstation on something that is not x86 based (preferably a smartbook or a Beagle Board).

Get a motorcycle again, drop out for a few months and tour most of Europe in that time.

Climb a big mountain.

Kill Flash with a big shoulder-mounted gun and replace it with standards-friendly SVG+ECMAScript.
