My name is Mel. I’ve been called a hacker by other hackers. Pressed for a short job description, I would say that I engineer educations. I’ve also been called an open-source community ninja, catnip gardener (from the old adage that managing programmers is like herding cats), and a Swiss Army Person or a Hack Of All Trades.
