From openSUSE

Even though this says I am Kfreitag, that's wrong: I am Freitag.

Head of Freitag

While I did some packaging in the beginning of my time at SUSE (which was quite difficult for me) I switched to work on internal infrastructure pretty soon. For example, the SUSE Bugzilla was done by me, later by my colleague Christopher and me, and finally by the Inttools Team which is part of SUSE R&D.

Well, bugzilla.suse.de has vanished from us and went to the Novell servers. All Novell bugtracking is now done with Bugzilla so the Novell Bugzilla needs a very much bigger mind than the SUSE Bugzilla ever had... And a bigger team for maintenance and development...

But the SUSE Inttools Team have found interesting things to move forward: For example SWAMP, our workflow management and administration tool. Another topic for the tools team is feature tracking for the SUSE products with our tool Fate.

Recently we were working on the openSUSE Buildservice which is really cool giving the openSUSE distribution a new boost for the future.

In summer 2007 I changed my role and became the architect of the SUSE department RD OPS/IPD. In that role I work on a higher level on infrastructure such as the Buildservice, our tools and more.

Later on in summer of 2009 I became the teamlead of the openSUSE Multiplier Team - something I am very happy about.

In the sparetime I am contributing to KDE and I am active member of the KDE e.V. In july 2007 I was elected to the board of the KDE e.V.

My current project in KDE is a project called Kraft which helps people doing business communication.
