Hi Kris,
My day (and sometimes night) job is a software developer audio related
position for Canonical (Ubuntu) on the desktop experience team.
And most nights and w/ends I play with various improv musicians around
London. We (Sonnamble) just released an album at the start of this year. All
recorded with open source software ( puredata (with some hand-baked
externals), custom controller apps, Ardour, Jamin )
review of the album:

Alas if I had more time/money I would give more to the open source audio
world. Definitely up for the LAC this year in Ireland though.
All the best,
Conor

Hi all,
I understand that a lot of you develop for free software and are passionate
at what you do. But how do you pay the bills? What do you do for a living?
Are you a student? Do you do software development just as a hobby, or do
you want to make a living doing this kind of work?
The reason I ask this is because I am curious about what kind of
backgrounds a free software developer has. As for me, I am a student
majoring in Music and minoring in Computer Science. I got the idea of
writing this email, actually, because Google had an internship panel at my
school. Google just loooooves open source and those involved. It sounds
like Google has quite a friendly and cooperative working atmosphere, and
they treat their employees very well. Yeah, I'd like to work for Google,
but who doesn't right? :)
