Hi all. For more about me, biographically speaking, you can visit http://larrythefreesoftwareguy.wordpress.com/about.
But why I'm here: I'm a journalist who backed into FOSS last year during a campaign as the Green Party's candidate for Insurance Commissioner in California, finding that I could do just as much with free/open source software than I could with commercial software.
The philosophical and social ramifications of free software for all was too intriguing to pass up, so I have become an evangelist for FOSS and I find Ubuntu an excellent vehicle to bring free software to all (as an aside, I am a Debian and Xubuntu user -- love the Xfce desktop! -- but I also use a wide variety of distros, including Fedora, OpenSUSE and AntiX Mepis on both Intel and PowerPC architectures).
