##1.1 About the author
This guidebook is a result of being heavily involved with both free software and usability. Most of the learnings come from working on two free & open source software projects.
1. Nextcloud (formerly ownCloud), a personal web platform for data and applications, roughly similar to Dropbox, Google Apps and iCloud. I work on user experience in its many facets: interface design, frontend coding, user research and community.
2. Diaspora, a decentralized social network roughly similar to Facebook and Twitter. It is a bigger project already, there I build a workflow for user experience design & testing and establish a user experience team.
In FallWinter 2010 I interned at relevantive in Berlin and did user tests in the lab, in the car and by foot. I also got involved with OpenUsability.
I did interaction design for Cardapio, a menu and launcher similar to the Windows start menu and Mac OS Spotlight.
In Summer 2009, I worked together with Canonicals Charline Poirier on usability testing for Shotwell before it became Ubuntus default photo application. The results are published on my blog.
