I am a software developer and system administrator from Lilongwe, Malawi. I have been using FOSS since the year 2000 and have been promoting it since then.

Apart from using and promoting FOSS, I am now contributing to the FOSS community through various projects. I am interested in cross-platform open source projects and at the moment, I am working on a configuration tool for email clients (Mail ConfiGuru, http://configuru.sourceforge.net), a spell checker dictionary for Chichewa (Chinyanja) http://ftp.services.openoffice.org/pub/OpenOffice.org/contrib/dictionaries/ny_MW.zip with Kevin Scannell. I am currently working on a Mozilla Firefox/Thunderbird Extension for searching various types of web content. More information about this extension will be published on my blog, http://soyapi.blogspot.com. I am also the Vice Chairman for Malawi Open Source Society (MOSS).
