Candidates
Albert Dengg
I'm currently a computer science student at the Vienna University of Technology as well as a part time programmer and system administrator.
After having been intressted in GNU/Linux and other Free Software for some time, I became more aware of the political and philosophical background over time, but looking back it's hard to name an exact year.
After having taken part in the protest marches against software patents in Vienna and hearing talks from differen people in the Free Software movement, I decided to join the Fellowship of the FSFE in 2006 and became involved in the Vienna fellowship group and since 2008 in the austrian country team.
In this really active and inspiring group I have helped raising the awareness of people of the Free Software and Open Standards in Vienna and Austria through booths at local Free Software events throughout the country.
My goals as a representative are:
- help improve the understanding of the structure of the FSFE by other Free Software activists, as I have seen there are misunderstandings
- communication between the Fellows and the teams inside the FSFE, as I have seen in the course of my work in the local Fellowship group in Vienna.
- help improve infrastructure for the Fellows (for example, wiki performance is problematic at times if it is linked from a high volume site)
- find out what kind of aditional infrastructure is desired by Fellows and could be implemented and help implementing the ones that are selected as desirable.
