About christefano

Me:

I work at the engineering firm, Exaltation of Larks, and at the Droplabs network of coworking spaces, which are two companies I co-founded.

In my spare time I'm a public speaker on open source software, high performance websites and internet security, and am a startup mentor and Drupal community manager and organizer.

My new company is Solar Ignition, a venture capital seed fund and accelerator program. We back entrepreneurs working on big ideas and values-based businesses using open source principles.

    Great point about emulation! I thought of a few Retro Games Corps videos I’ve seen when I saw your comment. Is that you?

    Wikipedia, yes. Without attribution no. It says they use Wikipedia on the ‘about’ page, where they also say they donate half their profits to the Wikipedia Foundation. I’m not asso…

    Surprising for me. I just shared the link with my COVID pod, and I’m giddy for the mayhem to begin. Thanks for the link!

    Great call to action. With other nonprofits I would immediately agree, matching is important. Is Signal in more need than other nonprofits, though? I imagine they’re still sitting …
