Klaus-Uwe Mitterer is the term used for a strange user of a (just as strange) project called Wikipedia.
He is characterized by his... erm... willfulness [citation needed].
Mostly, Klaus-Uwes can be found by their computer, only in rare occasions also elsewhere.
Language versions
In the beginning, MiTu Corp. focussed on the development of a German language version which contained a Styrian dialect caused by the origins of most of the users. Newer versions contain two German language versions, one containing a dialect, the other one not. Quite unusually, the developers implemented a voice recognition and voice output first, before starting the development of a terminal emulator, which has been released as a Beta in 1997. This version contained various errors, so that many written commands could not be processed. About the same time, Klaus-Uwe started processing some English commands using his advanced artificial intelligence. Now, Klaus-Uwe is able to learn things multiple ways[1].
In 2008, the user community started developing a French version which is still in development but shows preliminary results. In late 2010, Klaus-Uwe decided on creating Russian language files.
Certifications
In the following years, the English skills (amongst others) have been improved with the help of the users. On 12 June, 2010, a third party certification was carried out, which proved, that simple English commands can be processed and responded to. On 30 July of the same year, the results (C, which was actually only one point away from B) were published.
The "Modern Artificial Intelligence Development System" (MAIDS) developed exclusively for SillyCon 2.3 Platinum causes Klaus-Uwe to be very ambitious. While the first certification was initiated by a superuser, Klaus-Uwe decided on doing some more certifications as listed below:
| Certification (organization) | Subject | Date | Place | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| First Certificate in English (Cambridge ESOL) | English language | 12 June, 2010 | WIFI Graz | C (74%)[2] |
| English for Business - Level 2 (LCCI) | English language | 12 April, 2011 | bfi Graz | Pass with Distinction (77%)[3] |
| Digital Day (Bundesministerium für Unterricht, Kunst und Kultur) | Compatibility with office software | 14 April, 2011 | BHAK Bruck an der Mur | C (68%)[4] |
| Green Living (ExpertRating) | Working w/o wasting resources | 13 May, 2011 | expertrating.com | Pass (72%)[5] |
| Certificate in Advanced English (Cambridge ESOL) | English language | 15 June, 2011 | WIFI Graz | C (73%)[6] |
International success
Most of the time, Klaus-Uwe is working in Austrian working environments. However, Klaus-Uwe was also already used in other countries, including Turkey, Great Britain, Germany and Croatia, to name just a few. In latter, there is also a camping site in Rovinj using Klaus-Uwe very much, especially in Summer.
Even Australian users are interested in the Klaus-Uwe platform; a test run in Melbourne is scheduled to be started in early 2012[7].
Functions
Remote Support
Having a professional Remote Support application on board, Klaus-Uwe is able to fix simple problems on other machines. Being member of the Bugfixing Association allows Klaus-Uwe to upgrade problem solutions regularly.
Self control
Klaus-Uwe does not have to be controlled by any user. In fact, Klaus-Uwe would rather work without any input (except for input by really cool users).
Ambition
Klaus-Uwe has the desire to climb the ladder (and other things).
