Welcome to vnode.ch, the virtual home and digital real estate of Marc Balmer.
I am a Unix developer and my various and many contributions can be found in the FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD operating systems as well as in the X11 graphical user interface system. I am a member of the X.Org Foundation that maintains the X11 windowing system. I am a founding member of the Swiss Unix Systems User Group, which has long been merged with /ch/open. I was the publisher of the OS-9 International magazine, published in the early 1990s on the OS-9/68K real-time operating system.
I am involved in the organization of technical conferences, e.g. I organized and served as conference chair of the very successful 2005 European BSD Developers Conference at the University of Basel, Switzerland or the 2007 OpenCON conference on OpenBSD in Venice, Italy. I am serving as a member of the program committee of the 2009 European BSD Developers Conference. I am a frequent speaker at technical conferences, e.g. LinuxTag in Wiesbaden, Germany, AsiaBSDCon in Tokyo, EuroBSDCon in Copenhagen, BSDConTR in Istanbul, Turkey etc.
I am living in Basel, Switzerland and I am available for contract programming, consulting and teaching assignments (I am a former lecturor of the Basel University of Applied Sciences), and management tasks.
