Become a sponsor to James
Hi, I'm James, but on the internet you all know me as purpleidea. I left my full-time job at Red Hat to work on open source software. I'd like to keep it that way, so if you do too, please help support me financially!
Most of my work revolves around mgmt config, a real-time, closed-loop, automation tool.
I also publish a technical blog and mentor new programmers in my spare time.
I'd like to continue this work and avoid having any part of it be proprietary, so please sponsor me today!
Thanks!
James (purpleidea)
