Speaker Biography:
------------------
Marco Scoffier has an MFA from France's most pretigious art school
where he taught proprietary audio and video technology for 3 years.
He came to free software looking for a sustainable solution for his
own creative enterprises and hopes to be a vector through which
other people will come to be convinced of the necessity
and power of free open source solutions in digital multimedia.
