Hi everyone, Jean Weber already set me up with an ODFAuthors user account, so no worries there.
I'm twenty-eight and working toward a masters of fine arts degree in nonfiction writing at George Mason University in Virginia, USA; I earned my bachelors of fine arts in creative writing at the Pennsylvania State University. I write mostly personal essays (a term that often baffles people at first--think of the nonfiction writing of authors like David Sedaris, David Foster Wallace, and Virginia Woolf; that's what I aim for) and some journalism. I also write poetry and a bit of fiction. I have a good bit of experience in tutoring, editing, copy-editing, technical writing, and some in teaching, and I have my associates degree in multimedia graphic design, which includes Web and print design, as well as 3D modeling and animation (truth be told, though, I mostly just stick to print media). I'm largely interested in giving back to the LO community because of the political implications of open source software and the free sharing of information. It seems to me that free/open information and software means giving knowledge and power to people who may be otherwise underprivileged. It's also a way of bucking a global economic system that favors unethical business practices. Oh yeah, and I don't like paying for software that looks pretty but slows my computer to a crawl. Anyway, I don't want to bore/annoy anyone with a long political tirade, so I'll just leave it at that. I look forward very much to working with the LO documentation team, and I hope that I can be of some use to you.
