Hi all.
As some of you might not know me yet, I want to tell you a bit about myself.
My name is Marcus Moeller and I want to let you know a bit about myself
# hacker bio
I was born 1976 in Western Germany. My parents gave my brother and me a
Commodore 64 when I was 10 and the first lines of code have been
written with 12.
I had a 300 baud modem and an 'Akustikkoppler' to access mailbox
systems and soon became my own Sysop, leading 'Trancentral BBS' and the
'Digital Underground' demo group. Commodore Computers (C64 / Amiga)
have been my favourite platform for quite a long time.
In 1994, things began to change. With Linux I have suddenly found a
good, hackable and community driven operating system for my x86 PC
which I felt in love with, so I soon installed my first version of Linux
and got Usenet modem access through a local university.
In the late 90s I have started to create my own Linux Distribution
called 'Bonzai Linux'. It was based on Debian Potato/Woody and fit on a
180 MB mini CD. This was quite cool as I could take a fast installable
and well pre-configured Linux Desktop with me, being able to linuxify on
a lot of PCs at any time ;)
I was involved in Debian's boot-floppies and in early d-i development.
As GNOME is my favourite desktop environment, I an activly contributing
to the GNOME project. (hey, there is a GNOME 3 release event in Zurich
today afternoon, so if you are in town, come and join us :)).
Last year I have co-organized the FrOSCamp in Zurich, which was a lot of
work (but also great fun).
Starting from 2011 I am the official FSFE Swiss team representative and
co-organize the Fellowship activities in Zurich.
For me, Ubuntu is the perfect choice when it comes to desktop computing.
# business bio
1998 I started working as System Administrator at a local university. I
was responsible for their Linux/Solaris and NT network infrastructure
and created a PXE booted remote Solaris student-room where about 50
pupils where able to work on a single machine.
My thesis was about network monitoring using Nagios. After qualification
I started working as Linux development team lead at a system integrator
which is part of the Bechtle group.
These days, I am employed at the ETH in Zurich, beeing responsible for
the Linux deployment infrastructure.
Best Regards
Marcus
