Rotational greetings, all. Here's an #introduction

I'm a #software #developer, one of the founders of The Apache Software Foundation #apache #asf #apachehttpd, ex-DECcie #DEC #digitalequipmentcorporation, ex-IBMer, ex-RedHatter, and passionate about treating people fairly and writing code. Just trying out Mastodon now that Twitter's biome (#digiome? #electrome?) has started getting musky.

Oh, and I'm also ND, have a very literal sense of humor, and joke about just about everything.
