I've been involved more and more with open-source and free software lately. I really enjoy the philosophy of my contributions being usable by everyone (and not only for the benefit of a single for-profit company). Back in August, I wrote:
From now on, I will strongly encourage my customers to publish all software that I write under a copyleft license. If they are not receptive to my arguments, it means that our values are not aligned and that we should question our partnership.
=> Using Copyleft to spread Degrowth
After playing with the idea for a while, I finally informed my biggest customer that starting in January 2024 I will try to exclusively develop free software (which will more or less stop our cooperation).
I have been more or less involved with Forgejo since its inception and I need to complete the work for which a grant has been awarded:

And apparently, there are some German institutions interested in funding specific developments.
I had two contract works, which were released as free software at my request. They are both in a working state but could need some polishing and fine-tuning.
Once polished, I may look into offering them to other institutions, which will hopefully be interested in further developments.

If you need help for free software development, feel free to contact me!
I have quite a strong knowledge of Go, PHP, HTML and Javascript; I am used to working remotely but open to regular on-site visits (as long as it is decently reachable by train from Munich).
