<h2>About Karsten Gerloff</h2>
<p>
Karsten Gerloff is a Free Software activist and analyst. As
FSFE's President since June 2009, he leads FSFE's strategy
development and execution, as well as the organisation's
policy work at the European institutions and the United
Nations. He has five years of experience in interdisciplinary
policy work on Free Software, Open Standards, copyright,
patents and competition policy. An experienced public speaker,
he is equally at home with audiences from the Free Software
community, the public sector, business and the general
public.
</p>
<p>
As a researcher with the Collaborative Creativity Group at the
United Nations University, Karsten has worked extensively on
determining the economic impact of Free Software, with a
particular focus on the public sector. He has also extensively
examined the use of Free Software as a tool for social and
economic development, and took a leading role in developing a
training curriculum for Free Software entrepreneurs in Africa.
He maintains a strong interest in all aspects of the question
of how we as a society manage our knowledge.
