Jimmie, Since you started this thread, I have to ask.
You say you are an advocate of open source software. OK. But are you just on the consumer side or also on the producer side ? In other words, have you written/published/supported any non-trivial open source software ? Are you an academic or are you involved in commercial software (i.e. have you written closed software that you sell or otherwise make money off) ?
