-Hi, my name is Tal Schechter, and I am the new campaigns intern at the FSF for
the Fall of 2009, and am working primarily remotely. I am currently enrolled
full-time at Hampshire College as a third-year student concentrating in science
communication and ancient Jewish text scholarship. I have been playing with
computers since his parents got an Apple II Classic in the early nineties.
Questions of "Tal, why does this not work anymore?" were soon to follow.
Finally, when 13, I broke away from Macs, with the first PC to enter the
house-hold. Both before and after the new PC, I had been going to computer
camp, where I had first heard about "Linux." It only took a couple of years
after getting that first PC before it had a "Linux" install on it. Ubuntu's
Breezy Badger, in fact (the geeks at computer camp had insisted on Gentoo, but
I was not at that level yet).

An avid "Linux" user for some time, it was not until my first year of college
that I encountered the concept of GNU/Linux and Free Software as opposed to
open source. With the aid of the GLUG there, I learned about the importance of
the user's freedoms. While I had been aware of the openness of "Linux," it was
not until I learned about the freedom aspects of Free Software that he was
propelled into a proactive projection to convince other people that GNU/Linux
is a better choice of operating system for them from economic, moral, ethical,
and social standpoints.
