Tobias Kunze

rixx
Berlin, Germany

Hi! I'm Tobias (or rixx) and I'm creating open source software, most notably pretalx. I also do work in open source communities: I contribute code and documentation to projects, I help with issue triage, I give presentations, and I publish live notes from conferences I attend.

To keep some semblance of a work-life-balance, I read (a lot), and I publish reviews at books.rixx.de.

What do I do?

I'll try to keep this list up to date with all the public things I do (public good, I hope, but I'll leave the judgement up to you).

  • I build pretalx (talk management for conferences).
  • I build byro (membership management for clubs and associations).
  • I'm one of the two administrators of the Mastodon instance chaos.social.
  • I regularly share my experience in running community events with people who tackle their first or second event.
  • I give presentations on matters I'm knowledgeable about, like Python, Django, and git.
  • I also write blog posts about these things.
  • I contribute to Django, both by the occasional PR, and by triaging tickets, helping people through the PR process, and answering questions.
  • Guilty pleasure: I read. A lot. And I write reviews about those books, and I recommend them to others where appropriate.

What's the money for?

The money's for me, mwahaha! No, really: I'm working as a freelance software developer, and spending most of my free time with and on open source communities can take its toll. I'm working towards having more time for t 7BB1 his in general, and being on Patreon and liberapay seems like a good step towards that goal. This also means that while part of the money will go to on-topic costs (like servers, conference attendance, or books), other parts will go towards making sure that I can continue doing this without burning out on it (like ice cream, or books, or running gear).

Transparency notes

pretalx, my biggest open source project, is the only one I try to monetize by way of hosting offers. No part of it is closed source, though, and I support self-hosted versions both via advice and documentation.

If you're uncomfortable with donating on GitHub (either due to the platform, or because you just want to send me a one-off donation), I have alternative donation options.
