Core Values/Governance Beliefs
- Free/Libre and/or Open Source Software (FLOSS) is a public good the world depends on.
- A closed source platform, operated by a single $MEGACORP, governed by the rules of a single country, is not the right home for a good that “belongs” to us all.
- Power corrupts. Decentralization is really about avoiding concentration of power and that can lead to a more fair society.
- Bottom-Up trumps Top-Down decision making.
- Privacy matters.
Delegate Statement
My work here will be done once FLOSS has moved to a decentralized FLOSS home, where it is no longer at risk of being censored, has no gate keepers and enables everyone to build “on the shoulders of giants”.
In my 15+ years in the software industry, I have tried wearing many different hats (dev, product, coach, manager, customer service, startup founder, community, business owner) in a conscious effort to appreciate everything it takes to “build software”.
I believe this background affords me an all-rounded view that helps me appreciate competing priorities and balance them accordingly.
Possible conflicts of interests
I would never want all of the RAD supply delegated to me. I am only interested in adding a voice/opinion to decisions being made - I am not interested in becoming the decision maker. (centralization of power)
I will update this disclosure statement when there are any material changes. Furthermore, I’ll recuse myself from participation in any cases where I feel I’m unable to make an unbiased decision.
I have read and agree to the Delegate Standards and I am looking forward to the finalized updated version of the Code of Conduct, so I can confirm my agreement.
