Current position
I am a civil servant of the European Commission since 1993. I held several positions within the European Commission. Until last 15th January 2004, I was in charge of the data processing infrastructure of the Directorate-General Information Society in Luxembourg. I am now in charge of new IT technologies at the European Union Publications Office.
Involvement
I have been chairing the Luxembourg chapter of the Internet Society since 2000 up to now. As an aside, and just for fun, I claim the paternity of Dot EU TLD - since 11 December 1996.
Current activities include:
- Member of the Board of Trustees of the Internet Society
- Chairman of the Luxembourg IPv6 Task Force
- Board member of the European IPv6 task Force Steering Committee
- Board Member of the Luxembourg Open Source Initiative
- WSIS representative for ISOC-Luxembourg
I do not have much time left to spend on computer programming. However, I am pretty fluent in PHP, Perl and C. I have made some contributions to open source projects like KDE, SMA and Logwatch. Some of my hacks are available on my site.
