Briefly:

Committed to breaking barriers and debunking myths, Audrey's professional interests are fervently rooted in the open-source movement. This includes a love for Linux and a commitment to the continued growth and support of PHP and open-source technologies. With this mission in mind, she started a PHP users group which grew into the non-profit Vancouver PHP Users Association, and hosted a free series of beginner workshops at Free Geek, a non-profit re-use and recycling center.

Factoids:

Great diversity of food

Why Drupal?

Try something new, that has community support

Where/when did you first get online?

Around 1994, at that time I was big into arguing hot topics on IRC

Your best tech skill?

Country you want to visit that you've never been to?

Where'd you go to school? Why?

McGill first, as Montreal is a completely unique and different place (Bachelor of Engineering). Simon Fraser University for a few months (pursuing a post-graduate certificate in Object Technology). This was a very practical, though misguided decision I later found out, as SFU does not guarantee to keep your transcripts for very long, so it is difficult to prove you ever attended or completed a certificate. Ah well money down the drain. C'est la vie.

Three words of advice to younger developers?

Push the boundaries
