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.)

Julia Longtin, the president of HacDC.org, (The Capital's Hackespace) is also the maintainer of ImplicitCAD, a through-the-browser 3D system whose scripting language is base on OpenSCAD. The source code is written in Haskell, and it promises to handle curves much better -- or so Julia says.

It's a bit rough around the edges but you can try it out at http://implicit.faikvm.com/ and/or improve it at http://kalli1.faikvm.com/ImplicitCAD/Stable or https://github.com/colah/ImplicitCAD.

NOTE: faikvm.com is Julia's box, running out of her home (I think) and is not always the most dependable thing out there.

(Disclaimer: I'm currently on the board at HacDC, as I was too slow stepping backwards when they asked for volunteers.)

Well, the rudiments of Python bindings are coming to life... as of the FOSSCON / Hive 76 hack-a-thon in Philly late August.
