Matt would like to be an Open Source pragmatist, but is probably more of a zealot. He once impersonated Alan Cox, apparently they look similar. He has spoken at OSCON, PyCON, SCALE and local user groups in Utah and the Bay Area. Matt has programmed in Python since 2000, writing websites, tooling and scripts for search engines, build systems, and business intelligence. He is a rabid Linux (l)user.
