David Boventer prefers calling himself Cosmopolitan Villager. Based locally he is a local mayor of one part of the city of Huerth with about 17.000 inhabitants (Hermülheim and Kalscheuren). He is a member of the city council which fills his life with joy and preceives the world around him as one. In his opinion the world extends in concentric circles of topographical details and (personal) history with the micro- and the macrocosmical world in order in symmetrical hierarchy. He is a passionate Rhinelander (favorite soccer club of course FC) and lover of Carneval. He loves working and having an effect on the so-called small surrounding. As a convinced and passionate European he has been active for a peaceful and democratical unification of Europe since he was a student. As dual-citizen (Germany and USA) it is of tantamount importance for him to be in touch with his second home across the „big pond“, as Earth citizen he still believes in the possibility of a global civilisation, even if you want to call him naive. He founded the European Software Conference (ESWC) and has been soul and mind behind this annual event for software developers and their small and medium-sized businesses since 2001.
