| 31 | In saying that I have found that my creative background has given me a unique perspective to business and technical issues and problems over the years. It has given me the ability to apply right-brain solutions to left-brain problems. I can offer a perspective to the OSI that will be different to someone from a traditional engineering background. I give freely of my time to nonprofit and volunteer organizations and I have a passion for technology and for the transparency that open source brings and for what it can enable in the world we live in. Especially for those that have limited resources | ||
