His interests outside of computers, also involve computers!
Since 1999 Steven Goodwin (London, England) has been professionally involved in both the community and development environment for Linux, Free Software and Open Source. His first articles in Linux Magazine in 2001 began a long partnership where he brought the C programming language to the newsstand, demonstrated home automation, and uncovered command line power tools. He was also an "Open Source Champ" at Microsoft where he pioneered the use and advocacy of FLOSS in a (traditionally) closed environment.
As a speaker and commentator he has spoken at many major national, and international, conferences such as UKUUG and FOSDEM as well as writing the annual 'FOSDEM diaries' and gave the closing keynote at the 20th Anniversary FOSDEM event.
