| I lead a dual life as a Theatrical Lighting Designer and as a Programmer. I am currently in grad school at CalArts for Lighting Design. I am also working a Zope-based remote contract for a big evil software company. Much of my Free Software work has been either general community involvement or evangelizing at non-free workplaces. I have also co-authored several pieces of reasonably specialized Free Software, one of which, plywood, is a part of Debian Sid at the moment. Although I'm working for pay for a closed company right now, I have quit jobs over software freedom issues before, and I stand quite staunchly on principal when I don't *REALLY* need a gig to put myself through school. | I'm a System Architect for Rackspace Cloud. I'm also a core developer on Drizzle. |

| I am a Python hacker by choice, and do almost all of my current work in some combination of Python, Zope and Plone. I was a Perl hacker for a while, though. I even attended the first Perl Whirl Geek Cruise. I also do sysadmin work, and hack on LaTeX, elisp and all the web and XML-based buzzwords you can think of... although I try my best to avoid Java, I can play if I need to. I try to support the FSF as much as possible. Unfortunately I suffer from the old FSF mentality and don't ever get around to releasing things, even though they all have GPL headers and I use them all the time. | I've been building Debian packages for myself for years, and hack on packages and backports quite frequently. I'm the maintainer of [[http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=mordred%40inaugust.com|several packages]] in Debian, although I'm not a Debian Developer and uploading bugfixes is always a pain. |

| On top of all of that, I love packaging .debs. I have my own APT repository, and set one up at the last job I was at as a sysadmin for all the CPAN packages we used that weren't in Debian already. Although it should go without saying, I'm quite well versed in using GPG and CVS. I actually build all of my packages out of CVS using cvs-buildpackage. I hear that subversion is the wave of the future, but my main server is running Debian stable and is at a co-lo, so I'm not holding my breath for when I can upgrade it. (Although my coding partner is going to do a trial run of upgrading Debian boxen to Ubuntu with his servers at work. If that goes well, we may do ours.) | I hack in Python and C++ by choice, although I can do whatever. I'm a very vocal advocate of both bzr and launchpad. |
