Hi, My name is Molly Crowley, and I am primarily a website designer in Philadelphia PA, although I also work as an associate with a project called Rubia, as a professional and artistic photographer, and on projects related to Visual Anthropology. My formal education is in Visual Anthropology and fine art, so I come from an unusual background to be working with computers. Some of my knowledge was learned by necessity and after the first glimpse into the potential of computer programming, I was hooked. I recently presented at the University of Manchester, "Rediscovering Afghanistan through the crossroads of new and old media" I am intrigued by the potential for accessible computers to create informal learning environments. One of my interest in computers relates to the interactions with users (the "social life"of a computer) and the potential for information distribution. I started working with open source software, earlier this year and I am thrilled with the results. Philosophically open source licensing agreements are a good match to my personal thoughts on the matters of distribution and accessibility. I work with a lot of small business operations and non-profit organizations, for whom low cost technology solutions are imperative to sustainability. I currently have Ubuntu running on my laptop, a Toshiba portege 3490ct. The program I most frequently use in website cms systems is Joomla! also a open source project. I am glad to have found ubuntu-women, and look forward to the future discussions. best, Molly Crowley
