I'm a project manager at Red Hat and the lead administrator for opensource.com and I've been with Red Hat since 2003. I am the author of The foundation for an open source city, a book that outlines how to implement the open source city brand through open government. I graduated from NC State University and live in Raleigh, NC. I've been applying open source principles in neighborhood organizations in Raleigh for several years, highlighting the importance of transparency, collaboration, and community building. In my spare time, I enjoy surfing, gardening, watching football, participating in my local government, blogging for South West Raleigh @ southwestraleigh.com, and training my Border Collies to be frisbee and agility dogs. I head to the beaches of North Carolina during hurricane season to ride the waves. You can follow me on Twitter: @jhibbets
