+Software
+=======================================================================
+
+I am very supportive of
+[software freedom](http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html);
+ensuring everyone has freedom and control of their own computing, by
+protecting the right to freely use, study, modify and share programs.
+One of the ways I support this goal is by working on free software,
+some of which may be found in my
+[public git repositories](http://git.njw.me.uk).
+
+I strongly reject 'open source,' a term which was created to
+undermine the importance of freedom and collective welfare, and
+recast free software as nothing more than an efficient mode of
+production and profit.

+in reporting and fixing bugs. I wrote the ebuild for the
+[icecat](http://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/) package and modified
+the kernel eclass to enable automatic deblobbing with
+[linux libre](http://www.fsfla.org/svnwiki/selibre/linux-libre/).
+I also maintain a
+[personal overlay](http://git.njw.me.uk/cgit/cgit.cgi/njw-gentoo-local/)
+of some ebuilds I've built for it.
