Christoph, better known to brainzers as DonRedman, is one of the major contributors to the MusicBrainz Wiki, and is largely responsible for its growth and use for the documentation and meta-organization of MusicBrainz. A proponent of "soft security," he can often be found on the mailing lists and Wiki arguing against the need for formal structures when things could work without them. | |
A student of educational sciences at the University of Hamburg, Germany, Christoph is writing his master's thesis about "Processes of Learning and Bildung in Open Source Software Projects." As somewhat of a professional for communication, he found MusicBrainz, and the community it forms, an exciting subject in this regard. | |
Christoph stumbled over open source and into MusicBrainz when he was somewhere in between postmodern philosophy, theories of autonomous learning and Bildung (educational philosophy). So, this is a non-hackers version of: "Perl hacker, looking for MP3-tagging tool, found MusicBrainz, cool stuff!" |
