Welcome to my personal homepage! My name is Björn Schießle, I live in Schorndorf (Baden-Württemberg, Germany). I'm a computer scientist and a long-time GNU/Linux user and Free Software supporter. Further I'm a Fellow of the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) and a member of the european core team of FSFE.
Here you can find some documents and presentations which emerged during my computer science studies and Free Software related activities. I also have a small link collection which might be useful. Beside that I write about Free Software topics in my weblog and at identi.ca.
There are many ways you can contact me...
