About me
My first movie, Orang-U: An Ape
Goes To College came out on July 8th 2017. Available on
YouTube, Vimeo and other places.
In 2017, I was interviewed about the technology and tools I use to do my work.
In 2009, I started Libre.fm , a music
community site with a few hundred thousand users. This led to the
creation of the GNU
FM project to create the software to power the site, which also
led to the creation of the GNU social
project , which later merged with the StatusNet and FreeSocial
projects. I've been working on GNU since 2003 (I left for a bit in 2017 and rejoined in 2018).
I tweet a lot I suppose. I try to balance between my own nonsense and giving signal boosts to important and funny things. Follow me on Twitter ?
I previously worked at GitLab, Creative Commons and the Free
Software Foundation. I've been working with free software
professionally since 2001 and I've been using free software since the
90s. All of my work is available under free licenses.
Other stuff
Sporadically since the late 90s I've made music with Mark Cousens
(and later Vikki Crowe)
as furny . We have one EP you can buy in various places, including iTunes ,
Amazon ,
Bandcamp or as a ZIP
file which comes with some snazzy artwork by Rob Myers .
I made a film about Free Software in 2007 to promote the 25th
anniversary of the GNU project. Happy Birthday to
GNU starring Stephen Fry is available on YouTube, and on the GNU website . My feature film, Orang-U: An Ape Goes To College comes out in July
2017. Other TV/movie work can be found on my IMDb
profile .
