I'm a lawyer working in copyright, speech, policy, and nonprofit leadership around various Free and Open projects and communities, currently working with individual clients including Creative Commons. I got into open communities through volunteering for Wikimedia, first as an editor, then in community dispute resolution, and then as a board member for several years. I've also been on the board of the Free Software Foundation. 

I enjoy collaborating with academic researchers on work in peer production communities and their copyright/"intellectual property", dispute resolution, governance, and legal policy issues. I am located just north of San Francisco, where I enjoy playing my bassoon, viola, and occasionally some other things in a delightfully weird collection of musical groups, and lifting heavy objects for no particular reason.
