| <h2>About Me</h2> |
| <p>My overall title is Community Development Manager, which is shortened to "Community |
| Manager." It's |
| a term that includes strategy planning, project management, political and technical |
| coordination, business development, and marketing. Plus a lot of other stuff |
| too tedious to bear mention. Periodically, I write articles on open source |
| and OpenOffice.org, and I present on OpenOffice.org and open source at major |
| conferences. Previously, I was employed by Sun Microsystems and then Oracle.</p> |
| <p>My contact aliases: <a href="mailto: louis@openoffice.org">louis@openoffice.org</a>.</p> |
| <p class="Header">Short Biography</p> |
| <p> In addition to my work on OpenOffice.org, I also consult on setting up open-source |
| and other collaborative communities and on strategizing open-source projects. |
| Meanwhile, I continue, on my own time, to write and present articles and papers |
| on US culture from the Postbellum period through the present (I received a |
| PhD in English from U.C. Berkeley), though recently I've been broadening the |
| scope of my analyses to include the problematics of "infonomics," or the political |
| economy of information. Some of my publications and conference papers can be |
| found on my more or less defunct <a href="http://homepage.mac.com/luispo/">homepage</a>. |
| One of my <a href="http://ooo-speak.blogspot.com/">blogs</a> touches on OpenOffice.org |
| and open source; <a href="http://offpress.blogspot.com/">another</a> on cultural |
| criticism. A <a href="http://luispo.wordpress.com/">third</a> is on WordPress, |
| and works through the news. All of my blogs and public comments represent my |
| own views and not any prior or current employer's. I welcome comments, critique, |
| even support, |
| and encourage all to contribute to the community.</p> |
