Things that let you know more about me: I (he/him) am #actuallyautistic, working in #FOSS for 20+ years, first at Red Hat, and now at AWS. I co-wrote an O'Reilly book on Raspberry Pi, but it's super dated now. I do lots of scary packaging in Fedora, and I was in charge of Fedora Legal for 15 years, so I geek out on FOSS licensing stuff. I work at being an ally every day, using the privilege I get from being cis-white-male in tech to lift others. I love #pinball, #travel, games (board, video, whatever), #hockey (go Bruins), puzzles, #frogs, #trivia, craft beer, #Transformers, 3d printing, science fiction, #comics, #LEGO, #cosplay (amateur), #dinosaurs, blue drinks, and taking things apart to understand how they work.

I'm introverted, but I can cosplay as an extrovert for a while when necessary. I love making new friends in FOSS communities and spending time with old friends over good food and drink.

My day dream on long days is to open my own barcade with a little movie theater and a hidden speakeasy.

I believe in sustainable FOSS and people > code.

On the bird site, I had an open offer pinned to help people with their FOSS #legal questions. I am not a lawyer, but I've got a lot of experience bridging the gap between legal and engineering, so if I can be helpful there, please let me know.
