I have always been interested in computers, and would find myself hanging out with the Computer Science students instead of the Aviation Management or Business Management students I was a part of. At home and at work I have been largely self-teaching myself using computers starting with Excel and Access with VBA through ASP and SQL at work. Thankfully my current employer values education, and so I have been taking classes and not only learning the technology, but un-learning what I have been doing wrong over the years. At home, though, I have been teaching myself Linux, system administration, networking and the overall method of migrating our system from Windows to Linux. I am involved in the Danbury Area Computer Society (DACS.org) I have the opportunity to take what I've learned the hard way and hopefully help others.. I have been enjoying Open Source for a while now, and I am hoping to get a better understanding of the entire model and application.

I am so thankful you specified you don't need to be a student or educator. Since I am not either of those I was about to skip this giveaway.

I guess I should specify I am not a professional educator, but I find myself in a position to educate people at times. (about FOSS, Linux, 3D printing, web, programming, etc.) I suspect a lot of us here can fit into that category. ;)

See! Great customer service!

Either way, it's a great product for whoever wins it!
