This is my user page. I am Johannes Rössel, a student of computer science at the University of Rostock, Germany and I am currently in my seventh term.
Here at Commons I mostly do vectorizations as my time and boredom permits. I have a deviantART page where many of the pictures are licensed under Creative Commons; if some fit the nature of the project feel free to upload them here (most are present there in full resolution). I won't do it, however, as others have probably a better understanding of the images needed and are less biased.

[edit] SVG
[edit] Rant
I am using a text editor for most of my SVGs, instead of Inkscape, Design, Illustrator or whatnot. In fact, the only program to have SVG as its native format is Inkscape (which means it's the only program that might handle the resulting SVG in a readable and pretty manner).
But Inkscape sucks.
On Windows at least.
Some people are able to do impressive artwork with it but I am not an artist and I found myself incapable of doing what I intended with Inkscape. So I switched to using a text editor. This also means I might write SVGs which do not display correctly or at all in Inkscape, Firefox or WebKit. I do, however try to work around the shortcomings and various bugs of rsvg, except for shadow effects which usually fit at least somehow even if misrendered. Personally I use Firefox for testing which has pretty impressive SVG capabilities by now.
There are some things, however, like joining paths, editing complex bézier curves, etc. I will use Inkscape, though grudgingly and I usally just copy the path data out of there instead of saving the SVG (Inkscape embeds too much junk for my taste).
[edit] Grids
Inkscape can render grids but the code is abysmal. The easiest way I devised to render a grid is the following:
<defs>
<pattern id="grid" patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse" width="10" height="10">
<rect width="10" height="10" fill="none" stroke="#000" stroke-width=".5"/>
</pattern>
</defs>
<rect fill="url(#grid)" width="100" height="100"/>
Simple and elegant, without 400 KiB of path data in there.
[edit] Flag colors
