<p>
I'm a Miro developer employed by Participatory Culture Foundation.
</p>
<p>
<strong>What I do:</strong>
</p>
<p>
I spend my Miro-development hours testing, release engineering, doing some release planning, doing Linux and Windows development, working on enhancements, fixing bugs, and Ubuntu support, packaging and testing.  I also do some bug triage, user support, and "public relations" (i.e. hanging out with content creators and content publishers and explaining how the Miro universe fits into their world).  I think I'm averaging between 40 an 60 hours a week for work but my wife insists it's a lot more than that.  I haven't had the courage to measure it, yet--some things are probably best left unquantified.

<strong>Meet me for coffee:</strong>
</p>
<p>
I live near Boston, MA, USA right off of the T.  I'd love to hang out, get a cup of coffee, and talk Miro and Miro-related things.  If you're in the area, definitely look me up.
</p>
<p>
I'd also love to do Miro or Miro-related hackfests.  If you're interested, let me know.

My other web-site is at <a href="http://bluesock.org/~willkg/">http://bluesock.org/~willg/</a>.

<p>
I'm the maintainer of <a href="http://pyblosxom.sourceforge.net/">PyBlosxom</a>.  I've been doing some GSOC and GHOP work with the Python Software Foundation.

<p>
I started a co-working group called <a href="http://herd.jottit.com/">Nomadic Telecommuting Herd</a> which grows linearly with respects to how much time I put into it which comes in spurts.
