Jannis

I am an open source enthusiast, student and musician from Lübeck, Germany. In my free time I enjoy hacking on Xfce and Lunar Linux. I've been a member of both teams since about 2005. As of September 2008 I am also the official Xubuntu Xfce4 Liaison. Besides developing software, I love to listen to and play music (Guitar, Bass and Drums) and hang out with friends.

Lunar Linux

I've been a Lunar developer since early 2006. Lunar Linux is a very simple and easy to handle source-based Linux distribution. Development is driven by about a dozen active developers and a number of contributing users.

Xfce

Xfce is one of the three major desktop environments available for the X11 architecture. It is written in C based on the GTK+ toolkit. I've been an enthusiastic Xfce developer since 2005. Today I maintain several core components and a few panel and file manager extensions. I'm also coordinating developers of the so-called goodies which consist of panel and file manager plugins as well as additional applications that are not part of the core desktop. I'm mainly working on these components:

libxfce4menu
Freedesktop.org compliant menu implementation for Xfce.
verve-plugin
Command line plugin for the Xfce panel.
thunar-media-tags-plugin
A Thunar plugin for editing MP3/Vorbis tags and renaming media files.
xfce4-mixer
Mixer and volume panel plugin for Xfce based on GStreamer.
xfce4-settings
Settings dialogs for core Xfce features.
xfce4-time-out-plugin
Plugin for taking breaks from the computer every once in a while.

Xubuntu

As of September 2008 I've been the official Xubuntu Xfce4 Liaison. This position involves supporting Xubuntu developers in questions about Xfce and helping to get bugs merged upstream.
