<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.
