スポットライト: On Developers and 科学（工学）技術
Scott Carr, Maintainer, Documentation 事業／計画（する）
I am 28, and have been fooling with computers for about 18 years now. I am a programmer for a company that develops telephony 製品s; I developed my 技術s in programming through 裁判，公判 and error over the last several years. For the past year, I have been using and 可決する・採択するing GNU/Linux as my main desktop. Although I still program for several companies in VB, I am trying to migrate them to the more open 解答 GNU/Linux has to 申し込む／申し出.
My 利益／興味s 含む computers, programming, playing guitar, and working on Open Source and 解放する／自由な ソフトウェア 事業／計画（する）s. Of the different models for programming I have worked in, I enjoy the feeling of 株ing that one gets from the Open Source and 解放する／自由な ソフトウェア communities.
I have recently become the maintainer for the Documentation and User_FAQ 事業／計画（する）s for OpenOffice. Already, as a team, people have been 交流ing ideas and 共同製作 to create a help system for the OpenOffice.org 事業／計画（する） as a whole. I have never met any of the people on this "team" in person, but we have already been working together in a way most companies only "say" they do. This is the 約束 of what can happen in Open Source and 解放する／自由な ソフトウェア.
Open Source and 解放する／自由な ソフトウェア are certainly not just an American 概念, but the idea does bring to mind a 確かな phrase, "We the people..." I believe the 残り／休憩（する） can be filled in. This ideal helped bring together a nation. This ideal is what brings together the open source community. The people are what make the 事業／計画（する）, not the 法人組織の／企業の 決定／判定勝ち（する）s of pointy haired 経営者／支配人s. To me, this is open source and 解放する／自由な ソフトウェア.
Have fun...
