By day, a consultant for NOVA Web Development. By evening and weekend, he dons his costume (which looks remarkably like the jeans and T-shirts he normally wears), and goes out doing battle against the forces of proprietary software. He was the team contact for the Ubuntu DC "LoCo" and one of the hosts of the former OLPC Learning Club/Sugar Labs DC. (He has also served as a Red Hat Ambassador.)

<em>"Que sera sera"</em> ;-)

Seriously, if you're feeling compelled to change it, might I suggest some half-baked ideas (some more baked than others):
<ul>
<li>Nurturing opensource.com</li>
<li>It takes a village...</li>
<li>The "Incubator" (or "Brewery")</li>
<li>Beyond 20/20 Vision: Re-adjusting Our Focus</li>
<li>Re-Vision Control System</li>
<li>The past is prologue</li>
<li>Foresight</li>
<li>Reaching potential</li>
<li>Escape velocity</li>
</ul>

A quote often repeated regarding OLPC is "It's not a laptop project. It's an education project." (http://laptop.org/en/vision/mission/index.shtml). Although the quote is, I believe, intended to refer to the education of children, it occurs to me that increasingly, it is helping to educate the "unwashed masses" about the value and potential of Open Source -- in particular, the value of giving Open Source a seat at the Computer Science curriculum table.
