FOSSwire Authors
Peter Upfold - peter@fosswire.com
Peter Upfold is a technology enthusiast and Computer Science student at the University of Reading in the UK. Peter’s interest in Linux stems back to 2003, when curiosity got the better of him and he began using SUSE 9.0. Now he runs Kubuntu as his primary desktop PC operating system and also has a Mac laptop (which sometimes runs Linux too).
While not working hard or writing for FOSSwire, Peter enjoys using Linux, Mac OS X and doing programming, web development, playing with all sorts of different technologies, and, when not on the computer, cycling in the English countryside.
Jacob Peddicord - jacob@fosswire.com
Jacob Peddicord is a web developer and programmer who loves to work on random projects. He runs Ubuntu Linux, and is an Ubuntu Member. In addition to programming, he likes to play video games, blog, and rant about things on the Internet.
Jacob lives in Ohio in the middle of nowhere with only wireless DSL keeping his laptop alive. He has a messy desk cluttered with all sorts of programming books. He loves to use completely unstable software (though you shouldn’t).
Non-posting staff
Chris Van Patten
Chris Van Patten is many things, including a filmmaker, lover of technology, blogger, website designer, writer, and musician. He blogs about new media at YouMakeMedia, and he’s the founder of Vaveo, a platform for sharing events.
Chris is a proud New Yorker, although he doesn’t live in the city. Unfortunately.
Huw Leslie
Huw Leslie has been blogging about technology since January 2006, galvanised into action by the gadget fever surrounding CES, and a tech enthusiast for much longer. Huw used to edit GizBuzz, another Oratos Media blog, and is now a UK Editor at blognation, a global network of blogs covering web 2.0. He has a violent objection to the whole principle of root in Linux, much to the annoyance of Peter.
