Welcome to my personal homepage! My name is Björn Schießle. I'm a graduated computer scientist from the University of Stuttgart. Since 2010 I'm working at the Institute of Parallel and Distributed Systems as a researcher. Further I'm a long-time GNU/Linux user and Free Software supporter. I'm a Fellow of the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) and a member of the european core team of FSFE for which I participate in fairs and tradeshows regularly. Occasionally I give talks about Free Software related topics. You can find some slides of my previous talks at the "Documents" section.
