 Bio

 Jeffrey M. Hsu became a member the FreeBSD project in 1994 as one of its 
 first 10 committers. He has contributed to many sections of the 
 operating system in areas such as the networking stack, Java, and a 
 large number of the early ports in the language category. He has worked 
 professionally on FreeBSD and NetBSD was offered commit bits to both the 
 OpenBSD and DragonFlyBSD projects when they were first being formed and 
 is active in the DragonFlyBSD project today. He holds a degree from U.C. 
 Berkeley in computer science.

 In the past, he has consulted for leading companies such as the Western 
 Software Laboratory division of Digital Equipment Corporation, Cygnus, 
 Encanto, Netscape, ClickArray, Palm, Wasabi, and Cisco Systems. Jeffrey 
 enjoys giving talks and meeting BSD enthusiasts all over the world.
