Past open source experience
I was part of the Gutengroup, a lab that is committed to making their code open source. As an example, check out dadi, the Gutengroup code I am most familiar with.

My initial contribution for OPW was helping "define and polish" the first draft of mediawiki.org's new Greeter page.
