Hi, I’m Dan Lynch, a broadcaster, musician, writer and convicted geek from Liverpool in the UK. I’m mad about all things Open Source, particularly GNU/Linux but also various web and mobile technologies. I’m best known for hosting a number of podcasts on technology and music. You can read about them on the podcast page. I’ve been a musician since I was young and you can also discover more about that on the music page. I do a bit of programming and web development but not as much professionally these days. I’m a big fan of Django (the Python web framework) and I do a lot of Drupal stuff working with PHP. I used to work for the NHS (National Health Service) in the UK as a .NET developer. I know, it’s so hideously closed source and proprietary but we’ve all made mistakes in our lives right? These days I make most of my living out of talking, which you’ll soon realise if you linger here for any length of time.
I regularly organise events, the biggest of which is OggCamp. In 2011 we had 400+ attendees join us from all over the world to talk about FOSS and generally have a good time. In addition I’m involved with Ignite and Social Media Cafe in Liverpool. I also write a technology column for the website Seven Streets.
Feedback:
Thanks for reading this and thanks to everyone out there who’s supported me in all my endeavours, I really do appreciate the fine people I’ve met and conversed with, both in person and online. I just hope I can give something back. If you have any ideas, criticisms, rants, suggestions or… well, anything really, don’t hesitate to get in touch. You can leave comments here on the blog or send emails via the contact form at danlynch.org/contact
Stalk me if you like (in a nice way though):
I was also pretty late into all this “social media” business as everyone calls it, but I’ve been a pretty active microblogger since early 2007. If you want to follow me on Twitter, Facebook, Identi.ca, Google+ or anywhere else you can click on those icons in the right sidebar. Let’s be friends.
I look forward to hearing from you, bye for now
Dan
