Hello the list, I noticed that the welcome message for this list asks for an introduction, so here goes. I've worked as a software developer at a variety of places coding mainly in C++ with a little Perl thrown in. I've been using Ubuntu since grad school in the mid-2000's, but still dual boot with Windows... Anyway, I'm currently staying at home with my almost one year old, and while I love taking care of the kiddo, the gentle art of domesticity, etc., I must sadly report that I feel the technical part of my brain slowly turning to mush. I've never been "involved" in the open source community beyond using some of the software that it produces, but I might like to change that, so that's why I signed up to this list! :) I'd love to hear what other SAHM's are doing to stay sharp while not working, too.
