Open Source Interests
* Linux user since 1999. Red Hat 5.2 - 9, FC1-4, AS 3. SuSE 6-8.2. And now Ubuntu.
* [http://libdata.sourceforge.net/ LibData] is a LAMP project I administer on SourceForge enabling academic libraries to easily author subject-oriented web pages. Our needs require a high degree of data granularity & vocabulary control. It's used by several college libraries in Minnesota and some across the country. It's been mentioned on [http://oss4lib.org/ oss4lib] and on the [http://directory.fsf.org/ FSF/UNESCO] Free Software Directory.
* Free Software in Education. I code in a non-profit academic research environment, so our work should ideally be shareable, open source, collaborative, for the general public good, and built upon over time (rather than forced into obsolescence for the next great thing). I believe that the free and open source movements (lower-case, to be general) are the most compatible with this vision.
