[campus-JHU-staff] Introductions

[Asheesh Laroia]

Hello, dear people on the JHU open source comes to campus mailing list,

I'd love if we'd all introduce ourselves. I'll go first.

I'm Asheesh Laroia, and have a background in cognitive science, French 
literature, women + gender studies, and computer science. I've been 
participating in open source visibly since about 2001, when I started 
sending emails to mailing lists, and I've worked for Creative Commons for 
two years before starting my own thing that eventually became the 
OpenHatch you all are getting to know.

Nowadays I'm a Debian developer. My bias in open source-land is toward 
thinking about enormous projects with many collaborators, although I 
realize that's not the norm.

I'm interested in organizing the workshop in part because I wish that more 
of my colleagues at JHU in 2002-2007 were active in free software. That 
and I want it to take over the world so that the power differential between 
users and authors of software gets less intense.

Also I like juggling.

-- Asheesh.
