My name is Mel. I’ve been called a hacker by other hackers. Pressed for a short job description, I would say that I engineer educations. I’ve also been called an open-source community ninja, catnip gardener (from the old adage that managing programmers is like herding cats), and a Swiss Army Person or a Hack Of All Trades.

I always enjoy giving talks, and have always received a lot of positive feedback on them. If you'd like me to give a talk or workshop at your event contact me. I am prepared to give talks in English as well as German on a number of topics ranging from Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS), (Debian) Linux, Userfriendly System Administration and Women in FLOSS to technical topics or speaker training.
