Nico Rikken

I’m an engineer interested in innovation and good design. I care a lot about control over technology. As such I use and contribute to free software and open content. Public speaking, event photography and writing articles are some of the ways I contribute to their communities. I do this both in my work at grid operator Alliander and in my various volunteer roles of which many are with the FSFE.

In 2024 I became the maintainer of the Ada & Zangemann automation. In this role I have been working with the community to let the automation facilitate the growth in number of translations and output formats.
