General
My name is Danny Piccirillo, also known as TheSilentNumber or 𝄽#. I am an activist and incorporate that into everything i do. Free culture, digital rights, and software freedom are most important to me because we live in an age of technology, the information age, the digital age and the future holds two possible prospects for us in which technology can either empower us or enslave us.
Much of my involvement has been with Ubuntu. I am an Ubuntero, and an official Ubuntu Member approved on October 9th, 2007.
Discovering free software
I have had a love for computers and technology since I was very young. I was first introduced to computers with Windows 95 and i developed a blind faith in Microsoft. I assumed everything they created was better for no other reason than them having a monopoly. That changed when Google release Gmail and blew Hotmail, along with everyone else, right out of the water. From there, i found that Google supported Firefox, which was my gateway into open source. I immediately fell in love with the ideals of software freedom and the prospect of all software being free. I began using GNU+Linux when i was 15 years old in late 2006 with Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft and ever since, I have become more and more involved.
