<p>I figured it might be nice to introduce ourselves and talk a little about some of the stuff we work on.</p>
<br />
<p>I'm Matt. I'm pretty new to JP, and I'm a giant nerd. Computers and technology are at the heart of everything I do, and magically, I get paid for some of them.</p>

<li><a href="http://www.fsf.org/">Free Software Foundation</a> — this is my day job. Here I'm a campaigns manager, which is a mixture of technical and activism work. I also run and maintain the FSF websites for our various campaigns and generally oversee the website for the organization.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.gnu.org/">GNU operating system</a> — this is the original reason the FSF was set up, and I'm very proud to be a contributor to this project. GNU is both a <a href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/">general ethos of computer user freedom</a>, and a series of software that makes up a complete operating system. Today, millions of computer users have been liberated by using GNU, usually in conjunction with a program called Linux. In 2008, to celebrate 25 years of GNU, I wrote and produced <a href="http://www.gnu.org/fry/">a short movie about software freedom with Stephen Fry</a>, the British comedian and author.</li>
<li>GNU social and GNU FM — these are my two projects in GNU. GNU social aims to be a social network, much like Facebook or MySpace. Right now, we're roughly on par with Twitter in terms of functionality. The big difference between GNU socal and Twitter, is that you can run your own GNU social server and communicate with people across other servers, so it works much more email where people have different email providers, and much less like AOL where everyone does not. GNU FM is a piece of software you can use to run a music community website. At some point, I'd like to make a music community for JP residents using GNU FM, but until then, you can check out Libre.fm — home to the world's largest collection of free music — music you can download, share and remix legally.</li>

<p>Away from all that, I have a cool small business of my own, publishing small books and making fun little records with some of my friends and worry about the lack of the E line.</p>
