Hi, my name is Jürgen Gmach, and I am an open-source advocate by heart.
Although I started writing code already at the age of 13 (generation C64), and I have been a professional software engineer since 2007, I only started contributing to open-source software a couple of years ago.
While I had been using many open-source applications and tools like Drupal, WordPress, Roundcube, Dovecot, Postfix, Apache, Nginx, PHP, Python, and a few Linux distributions for several years, I never felt the need or the urge to contribute to them - they just worked.
