He has done summer camps for high school students teaching them the basics of 3D modelling with Blender. He first started in Linux with version 1.0 on Slackware back in 1994, and has been hooked every since.
 
Various hobbies include leatherwork, blacksmithing, wood work , archery (belongs to the Society for Creative Anachronism) and lately SCUBA. Was happily surprised to find out the Linux based software for his dive computer was written partly by Linus.


The meeting starts at 7pm

We go for food afterwards so we can chat with each other comfortably, usually to BJs at the nearby mall.
