Writing / Publishing

I work as an editor at O'Reilly Media, a highly respected book publisher and technology information provider. My editorial output includes the first books ever published commercially in the United States on Linux, the 2001 title Peer-to-Peer (frequently cited in connection with those technologies), and the 2007 title Beautiful Code. My modest programming and system administration skills are mostly self-taught. My articles have appeared in The Economist, Communications of the ACM, and Vanguardia Dossier. Conferences where I have presented talks include the Open Source Convention, FISL (Brazi),FOSDEM (Brussels), DebConf, and LibrePlanet.
