History

I have been using free software since 1997. I started with RedHat and shortly thereafter moved to Debian. In addition to various patches and the like, my largest contribution to free software prior to joining Canonical was creating and maintaining for several years the Gnome2.2 backport for Debian Woody. In my consulting work, I supported Ubuntu, Debian, RedHat, CentOS, OpenBSD and pretty much any platform that used free software.
