Mike is the Editor of Linux Gazette.  You can read what he has
to say on the Back Page of each issue.  He has been a Linux enthusiast
since 1991 and a Debian user since 1995.  He was SSC's web technical
coordinator 1999-2003, which means he got to write a lot of Python scripts.
Now he's a technical writer, involved in three free software
projects for Python (Cheetah,
Webware and 
YAML), and edits LG from his home.
Non-computer interests include Ska and Oi! music and the international
language Esperanto.  The nickname Iron was given to him in college--short for
Iron Orr, hahaha.
