Thanks the creators of those wonderful tools!
About me
My origins are in Vienna/Austria but I live in Stockholm/Sweden.
I develop software since the mid nineties of the last century. It is an exciting and interesting job, sometimes also a little crazy, but I still like it. Mostly I am involved in C++ projects on Linux, Windows and OSX, but I am using other programming languages as well.
In recent time I developed a huge interest in automatization and tooling, CI/CD and devops.
I like to spend my spare time together with my family. When time is left I am in front of a computer or a book, for fun and for learning purpose. I am also very actively involved in the local C++ developer community, what consumes a huge part of my available time left.

This site, with my blog :-)
I do not do as much writing as I would like to do theses days, but maybe, and hopefully, this will change. -
The local C++ meetup group
StockholmCpp, the C++ user group of Stockholm, by far my favorite hobby. You can find some more information about that topic on my blog. -
The swedencpp youtube channel
I learned how to edit videos and the results can be seen at youtube. There are also some of my talks among the recordings. I like this kind of activity a lot since it is very different to my programming and other IT related tasks. -
The swedencpp website
swedencpp is a nodejs application with a html frontend. This is something different to what I usually do. For me, the side is one of the best places to find information about C++. It lists recent videos and blog posts, and has a calendar with upcoming events. When time allows it, I will add some more functionality. -
SIS/TK 611/AG09
SIS/TK 611/AG09 is the Swedish mirror committee for ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG21. I am the convener of SIS/TK 611/AG09 and member of the local expert group for C++, what makes me a member of SC22/WG21. -
My bitbake tutorial.
A intro to bitbake. This page has more than 1000 views per month and is also under the top search results at google for a bitbake tutorial. This makes me very proud;-), but also means I need to keep this document up to date, since bitbake changes over time.

sbbdep, (Slack Build Binary Dependencies)
The tool for exploring binary runtime dependencies on Slackware and Slackware based systems. sbbdep is a final project, only bugfixes are done. But since some years it is pretty stable. -
libsl3, a C++11 interface for sqlite3
A sqlite3 wrapper back from the time where C++11 was new :-)
Still a solid library and an example for how I think a library should look like, Unit test, 100% code coverage and a complete documentation.
-
Beside I am also active contributor to other open source projects. Usually when I use some tool, and need some functionality or find some issue, I just fix it and send the result upstream.
If you are interested what I do for living, there is some more info on my linkedin profile which I try to keep up to date, occasionally.
