About this site
I'm Dr. Matt Lee but you may just know me as mattl.
I've been working on this site on-and-off since 1993. I've been working professionally with the web since 1998. Since the 1990s, I've been using and writing open source software (sometimes called free software) and have a lot of experience with Linux.
I grew up in England, but moved to the US about twenty years ago to work on open source related things. As part of my move, I made a short film about free software/open source starring Stephen Fry. It's called Happy Birthday to GNU and you can watch it on YouTube amongst other places.
In 2009, I founded Libre.fm, a music community site. It's entirely open source.
In 2017, I co-wrote and directed a feature length live action movie using open source software. I think it's the first of its kind. It's called Orang-U: An Ape Goes To College. Sequels are coming, eventually.
In 2024, I wrote this page.
