Intro

Dear potential sponsor,

thanks for visiting this page and continue reading. Since more than 20 years I am actively contributing to many open source projects, details are listed below. Any funding via Github Sponsors will support the following activities:

• Further development of software for the TeX universe
• Support the server at texlive.info providing services for the TeX Live community

TeX related activity

The biggest part is taken by development of TeX Live, both for upstream as well as Debian Developer. I am the main developer of the TeX Live infrastructure, most importantly the installer and the TeX Live Manager, and currently also member of the Board of Directors of the TeX User Group TUG.

On my server texlive.info I provide services to the general TeX community by offering a mirror and git repo of CTAN, an archive of TeX Live net installation directories (tlnet), a mirror of the TUG historic archives, many git/svn mirrors for projects related to TeX, and several more.

I also develop a frontend for the TeX Live Manager, TLCockpit, as well as several packages related to Japanese typesetting and fonts.

Debian packaging

Besides maintaining the TeX Live packages as well as many other TeX related packages in Debian, I am maintaining and contributing several other packages: Cinnamon Desktop, some Python modules, Calibre, Onedrive, just to name a few.

FOSSASIA related

Since about a year I am very active in the FOSSASIA community, where I develop a privacy aware smart speaker system SUSI.AI, act as mentor for community projects (GSoC, CodeHeat).
