Hi! I'm Jim Hall. I've been involved in open source software projects since about 1992, and I've run Linux at home since 1993 (until ~1998, I still had a Windows partition for games.) And I've run Linux on my work desktop since ~2002. In 1994, I founded the FreeDOS Project and I am still active in that. In ~1998 I started the GNU Robots project, although I handed off the maintainer role in July 2000.
