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.)

Authored Comments

Regarding the comment on hackerspaces, this is happening somewhat at <a href="http://hacdc.org/">HacDC</a>, the Washington DC hackerspace as well.

Also, the <a href="http://www.nasonline.org/site/PageServer?pagename=cpnas_home">Cultural Programs of the National Academy of Sciences</a> just held its inaugural <a href="http://www.nasonline.org/site/PageServer?pagename=Experience_Future_Events_DASER">DC Art Science Evening Rendezvous (DASER)</a>. Much of the audience seemed unaware of the activities of hackerspaces, and the Open Souce communities. During the Q & A, I was able to remedy that a bit. :-) Based on the reception to my comment, it looks like both topics may be covered at a future DASER event.
