I spend most of my free time with volunteer work. I like to contribute to open-source projects and I also organize events around open source, for example, the monthly Hackergarten in Lucerne. Everybody can come there and together we contribute something to different projects. The focus is on the common experience, the exchange, and of course the contribution.

In addition, I volunteer to help organize various developer conferences. I am on the program committee of BaselOne, Voxxed Days Zurich, CH Open Workshop Days, and JavaLand. In addition, as an author, I also publish an article in a professional magazine from time to time.

All these activities are honorary and I don't get any money for them. I do this because I think it's important and of course, it's a pleasure for me to be involved in the community in this way. But such a commitment does not only cost time, but it also costs money. For example, recurring costs for domains, hosting, certificates, and various services. All this I finance with my private money.

Of course, it is especially great if you can donate time and work on open source projects, too. But it's also great if you could support me with the costs. I promise that every cent will be invested in my main project, GPX Animator!
