By day, Jeff Waugh is a consultant with Waugh Partners. By night, he rides shotgun on the GNOME release juggernaut and plots the Open Source blogging explosion with Planet. Waugh is an active member of the Free Software community, holding positions such as Chairman of the Annodex Foundation (2006), Director of the GNOME Foundation Board (2003-2004, 2006), GNOME Release Manager (2001-2005), committee member (2000-2001) and president (2002-2003) of the Sydney Linux Users' Group, and member of the linux.conf.au 2001 and 2007 organising teams. He was one of the founding employees of Canonical, spending two and a half years engaged in Ubuntu business and community development. In 2005, Waugh won the Google/O'Reilly Open Source award for Best Evangelist. Jeff is a card-carrying member of Linux Australia, but does not say "mate".
