Biography
VM’s introduction to Open Source was watching a college boyfriend fill countless 3.5" floppy discs with a new operating system he was downloading from Usenet over his shiny new 14.4K baud modem. “It’s, ya know, like UNIX. But, ya know, free.” Somehow this made a deep impression. VM started paying attention and recognized that openness is a Good Thing™. Since then openness of all sorts has been a feature of her life, often in small but meaningful ways.
VM has been a system analyst, an erstwhile DBA, a programmer and the director of a software engineering department. Now she’s pleased and honored to be Product Manager at Internet Archive.
When not working VM makes things, dotes on her spoiled cats Nigel and Percy, organizes GeekiTiki (website pending) and obsesses about Doctor Who.
