| − | == About me ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Hey there! Chris here ^_^. I'm your local gnu/linux enthusiast, travel bug, cyclist, anime fan, and poor college student. I also consider myself an activist and try to incorporate that kind of philosophy into everything that I partake in. Besides my love for free software, for example, I helped jumpstart a 'Green Corps' club at my community college where we are working towards establishing local farmer's market for our community, starting a student-run cooperatively-owned organic cafe, campaigning politically and getting students mobilized to vote, as well as a variety of other projects.

| − | However, this ''is'' the LibrePlanet wiki, so let's continue with my interest in the free software movement :P.

| − | == Free Software==
| |
| − | === Introduction ===
| |
| − | Just like most others my age, I've been around computers for pretty much my whole life and started off with windows. I don't remember too much from back then, but somehow I heard about the "linux" hype and decided to check it out. After some research, I decided to start off with.... Gentoo! Hahah, what a switch that was. And like most things in my life, I decided to go cold-turkey; I downloaded and printed out a copy of the Gentoo Handbook, wiped my hard drive, and booted up. If I recall correctly, I was with that computer for days before I got any sort of workable system up and running xD. But! It was awesome. Despite all the 'trouble' I went through, it was really great fun for me, and since then I've been a full-blown linux user.

| − | === Discovery ===
| |
| − | Interested in my usage of linux without prefixing gnu is the above paragraph, given that this is the LibrePlanet wiki? Well, that's what it was to me back then. I only had a vague idea of what GNU or the FSF actually was. It was only until I came across [http://archhurd.org ArchHurd] that I began to look into these things.

| − | === Action ===
| |
| − | Now, soon after these events have transpired, I want to do everything I can to push this movement forward, and that begins with starting a local LibrePlanet chapter around my area- the San Francisco Bay. I would absolutely love to have a local community of similar like-minded enthusiasts to help with and support the development and promotion of free software.
