David Rutland

• David entered publishing through the traditional route — as a journalist for regional newspapers and magazines in the UK and the Middle East. He occasionally writes features and tutorials for Linux Format magazine.
• Since the early 2000s, he has been heavily invested in the Linux and Open Source ecosystem. He runs a range of sites and services from a Raspberry Pi perched precariously atop his living room couch.
• When he's not using or writing about technology, David rides motorcycles and tours the British Isles off-grid with his caravan, dogs, and an out-of-tune guitar.

Experience

David is a freelance writer and editor with a background in print journalism and extensive experience with tech writing and reviews, investigative journalism, op-eds, and editing. He has a deep and abiding love of Free and Open Source Software, has played around with Android app development, and dabbles with Python and Java. David has lost count of the number of articles he's written, both under his own name, as a ghostwriter, or with a pseudonym. He never passes up a chance to take a stray edX course to better his understanding of technology, humanity, and other related matters. Although he primarily works online these days, he still keeps a foot in the print media world.

Education

He has a post-graduate certificate in print journalism from the National Council for the Training of Journalists.
