Retired from career in technical design and systems roles in defence industry and water utilities. Set up and ran Age Concern Berkshire Computer Centre for novice users.

Support Ubuntu and FOSS exhibition stands, eg London Olympia, including custom Ubuntu leaflets. Ran a table at Wallingford festival (Bunkfest 2009, 3 days). Give talks and Ubuntu demonstrations to computer clubs. Am a volunteer sysadmin for a local charity which now has 6 Ubuntu computers. Contribute to various forums, including Novatech (Linux) and Age Concern Discussions (Computers and Internet). The latter is most notably an uphill advocacy task.
