Open-source enthusiast, cyclist, boardgamer :-)

I am a computer scientist who is interested in open-source projects. I am especially interested in tools which enhance the digital sovereignty.

I started using Jabber/XMPP as an alternative to ICQ in autumn 2000. Since then, a good XMPP-client is a must-have installation on my PC. When I started using an Android smartphone, I did not watch out for XMPP clients at first but I recognized that centralized instant messengers are not a good solution for smartphones.

In 2021 I got more active in the XMPP community. I deployed my blog eversten.net which is available in German and English to help non-technical people to get started with XMPP. In the year 2023 I introduced a new German website xmpp24.de which focuses on video tutorials explaining the first steps when using an XMPP client for the first time. I test a lot of XMPP apps and I report bugs and inconsistencies to the developers.
