About Henne
Me in my hometown harbor (Bremen), July 2005
I work in the development department as a packager.
Interests
I won't bore you to death with my model planes (which I don't build), my Chinese dance therapy (which I don't do), my countless vacation trips (which I don't take) or any other spare time activities such pages normally brag about. If you want to know something about my private life, become my friend and I might tell you (or not).

Open-Source History
I have never written any famous program.
I have never made any major code contribution to a famous project.
Instead I have answered countless questions about Linux in general and about SUSE Linux in particular,
created countless bugreports, countless small patches for particular problems, and a gazillion lines
of documentation.
SUSE History
My history with SUSE is quite long. I've started in support in early 2000, where I helped customers via phone/email, wrote SDB Support Database articles, contributed to the SUSE manuals and things like that. I've concentrated on Network/PPP/ISDN and general issues. After some time I became a "meta-supporter" and supported other supporters in their tasks. I did that for round about two years. During that time I got more and more involved with development, bugreporting and things like that. So it was just natural that I became the link between the support team and the development department. This meant that every bug reported by customers landed on my lap and I had to take care that it got properly reported and fixed. During that time I also started packaging, which led me to a position in late 2004: packaging applications for SUSE as a slave in the coal mines of Mads Martin Jørgensen. Since mid 2006 i took over that role from Mads and now im the supervisor in my own coal mine: The Core Services Team. We care for everything above kernel/toolchain right up to beneath the Desktop. So from init to X - thats us.
