Hi Kris, My day (and sometimes night) job is a software developer audio related position for Canonical (Ubuntu) on the desktop experience team.
And most nights and w/ends I play with various improv musicians around London. We (Sonnamble) just released an album at the start of this year. All recorded with open source software ( puredata (with some hand-baked externals), custom controller apps, Ardour, Jamin ) review of the album: http://www.themilkfactory.co.uk/st/2010/06/sonnamble-seven-months-in-e-minor-forwind/ Alas if I had more time/money I would give more to the open source audio world. Definitely up for the LAC this year in Ireland though.
