From openSUSE

Frank Sundermeyer

Back in 1996 a friend of mine, who was using this weird Linux OS for quite some time, told me that the company he was working for - S.u.S.E. GmbH - was searching for someone taking care of their webserver and web content. I just had had a few glimpses at S.u.S.E. Linux 4.2 and had planned to learn HTML anyway, so I applied for the job. Now, 11 years and 27 SUSE LINUX versions later, I am still working here — either because of an instinct for survival or because of phlegm ;-).

Until suse.com had been integrated into existing Novell servers in 2004 I was responsible for the larger part of the SUSE webservers, the content management system, web templates and everything else web related. Besides I did several other jobs at SUSE: product management, marketing, presales, ... .

In November 2005 the Documentation Team kindly granted me asylum and I am a Wichtl since. When I am not writing manuals, I am responsible for openSUSE web related stuff, especially wiki templating, style sheets and stuff. I am also caring for the webmaster@opensuse.org account and am actively involved in the Lessons for Lizards project.

Off work - permitted my daughter and her twin brothers allow me to ;-) - I enjoy bird watching, my aquariums and plants, riding my Sprint ST, and reading fantasy and SF. If all this still leaves time, I am digitizing my 1000+ punk and alternative long-play records and play (offline) role playing computer games.
