About Stormy Peters

My name is Stormy Peters. You can contact me by sending email to stormyscorner -- at -- gmail.com. You can also leave a comment on any post where you have something to say!

I currently work as the executive director of the GNOME Foundation. I also am an advisor for HFOSS, OpenSource World, IntraHealth Open and OpenLogic, as well as founder and president of Kids on Computers, a nonprofit organization setting up computer labs in developing countries.

I do a lot of public speaking. For more information about the topics I speak on, see my speaking resume. You can also see me speak at:

• Linux Collaboration Summit, speaking on the "State of GNOME", as well as participating on the community panel and running the open source marketing and GNOME mobile sessions
• International Conference on Open Source Software, keynote speaker: "Open source is changing the way work gets done"
• OSCON, "The Role of Users in Open Source Projects"

I am passionate about learning, books, technology and open source software. I read a lot, travel a lot and I never pass up an opportunity to learn something new.

I have two boys - an eight year old and a two year old - who keep me entertained. My boyfriend does lots of interesting things like cooking, hunting, pickling and building stuff - you can find his blog at Life of a Hunter.

You can also find me on twitter (@storming) and LinkedIn.
