User:80686

Hi, thank you for your visit.

My name is Manuel and I come from Germany. If you want to read further information (in German) go on to http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:80686.

Some information (translated from my German user page) which might be relevant here:

Live

 * Name: Manuel Schneider
 * Date of birth: 11th May 1981
 * Habitation: Steinen, south-western Germany (directly on the border to Switzerland and France)

Work
After my apprenticeship as IT specialist I'm studying at the university for applied sciences at Basel (Switzerland) to become a graduate engineer in applied computer-science by the end of 2007.

The money I live on I earn by selling my services as internet service provider in webhosting and webdesign. In this context I'm sponsoring some Wikimedia project (see below). If someone wants to have a look onto my work see http://www.masterssystems.de/.

als.wikipedia.org
Mostly I'm working at the Alemannic Wikipedia as Alemannic is my mother tongue.

My jobs there are:
 * administrator of the Mailinglist wikials-l
 * administrator of the IRC channel #als.wikipedia and operator of the Huusmeischtr
 * press contact
 * administrator in the Alemannic Wikipedia

Wikimedia
As member of Wikimedia Deutschland e.V. I was not that interested in becoming member in a Swiss Wikimedia chapter but I helped founding Wikimedia CH and in the end I finally also became a member there.

Domains and Webhosting for Wikimedia
What can be found on my servers:


 * Wikimedia Deutschland:
 * wikipedia.de (since December 2005)
 * test page for the new Wikimedia homepage in Typo3 (since Mai 2006)
 * Wikimedia CH:
 * wikimedia.ch - Website of Wikimedia CH (since May 2006)
 * board.wikimedia.ch - board wiki (since April 2006)
 * members.wikimedia.ch - members wiki (since April 2006)
 * wikipedia.ch - Switzerland portal of Wikipedia (since April 2006)

MediaWiki
Part of my work as ISP is integrating Wikis, especially MediaWiki. Eg. I worked as a consultant for Coop to help integrating MediaWiki in their IT departments (~400 employees). In this way I get ideas for new extensions of MediaWiki and try to get the permission and the (financial) support from potential users to get someone paid for helping me realising these under GPL.

This list here works as my bookmarks for extensions and bugs I found / I'm working on / I found interesting:
