Eric Greene
Hello, my name is Eric Greene. I have been writing software since I was a kid and writing it professionally for almost 17 years. During those 17 years, I have used many technology stacks both open and closed source. I have seen and been a part of the many debates which take place in IT shops over whether to use open source or closed source technologies. I started in the Microsoft Classic ASP stack, then transitioned to LAMP, then back to .NET and now I use both LAMP and .NET (including Mono) to build web applications for my customers. I fully believe in the mission of open source software and seek to promote it with my clients wherever possible. I seek to find opportunities to integrate open source technologies with existing closed source implementations thereby demonstrating the flexibility and robustness of many open source software applications. I am pragmatic seeking to leverage the power of open source technologies in primarily closed source environments.
I desire to be on the board of the OSI because I desire to find more opportunities to integrate open source technologies into the closed source space to help others see the benefits of using open source technology in their business solutions.
