Kuhn began his work in the software freedom movement as a volunteer in 1992, when he became an early adopter of the GNU/Linux operating system, and began contributing to various free software projects. He worked during the 1990s as a system administrator and software developer for various companies, and taught AP Computer Science at Walnut Hills High School in Cincinnati. Kuhn's non-profit career began in 2000, when he was hired by the FSF. As the FSF's executive director from 2001 to 2005, Kuhn led FSF's GPL enforcement, launched its associate member program, and invented the Affero GPL. From 2005-2010, Kuhn worked as the policy analyst and technology director of the Software Freedom Law Center. Kuhn holds a summa cum laude B.S. in computer science from Loyola University in Maryland, and an M.S. in computer science from the University of Cincinnati. His Master's thesis discussed methods for dynamic interoperability of free software languages.

<h3 id="kurdali">Bassam Kurdali, Urchin</h3>
<p>Bassam is a 3D animator/filmmaker whose 2006 short, Elephants Dream, was the first "open movie." It established the viability of libre tools in a production environment and set precedent by offering its source data under a permissive license for learning, remixing and re-use. His character, ManCandy, began as an easily animatable test bed for rigging experiments. Multiple iterations have been released to the public, and Bassam demonstrates him in the animated tutorial video + short, The ManCandy FAQ. Under the sign of the urchin, Bassam is continuing to pursue a model of production that invests in commonwealth. He teaches, writes and lectures around the world on free production and free software technique. Raised in Damascus, Bassam trained in the United States as an electrical and software engineer.</p>
