I had no time to introduce me, because Wolfgang interrupted me with : "Just install Linux !". Well, of course I did. It was the first good suggestion he gave me. Many others followed.

In many occasions he had strong discussions with customers to explain the advantages of Open Source, and he rejected business contracts if customer was going against his principles. We will miss him.
