While my B1 Systems GmbH business cards identify me as a "Linux Consultant", I actually spend most of my time as a software developer. I like to chose sexy open source solutions allowing for rapid and solid development and I actually believe in best practices and excercise them in the so called real world. Whenever possible I like to take the opportunity to present an exceptional piece of open source software to an interested Audicnece like I did several times this year alone.
