René Rebe (born 1980) is a software developer who grew up in Lauenau, Germany, and currently living in Berlin. He studied computer and media science at the University of Applied Sciences in Berlin. He is known for having funded a number of open source software projects, such as the T2 SDE Linux distribution,[1] GSMP - a General Sound Manipulation Program, and ExactImage[2] - a high performance image processing framework. He also developed an open source SANE document scanner driver.

[edit] SANE/Avision
In 1998 René Rebe developed the SANE scanner driver backend for Avision and OEM scanners, which to date supports more than one hundred SCSI and USB scanners from various manufacturers.[3]
[edit] T2 SDE
In 2004 René Rebe founded the Linux build kit T2 SDE. T2 was created as a fork of the source distribution ROCK Linux,[4] after many years of active development and stable release maintenance of ROCK Linux.[5] T2 became popular for the development of customized embedded Linux systems in appliances.
[edit] Minised
Minised is the fast, small sed originally distributed in the GNU toolkit and still distributed with Minix. Although it was replaced by GNU sed in many Linux distributions, René Rebe took over maintenance from Eric S. Raymond and continued to maintain it for use in embedded systems due its smaller code size and memory utilization.
[edit] Openbench
OpenBench is a set of free-of-charge benchmarks similar to the SPEC benchmark suite.[6]
[edit] ExactImage
ExactImage is an open source framework for modern image processing. From 2005 it has included a number of well-known image-processing algorithms, some popular for the creating searchable PDF files from hOCR input.[7]
