-Stuart Mackintosh, President
-
-Based in Europe, Stuart has been working with
-free and open source software since the
-mid-1990s. Many of his early projects were
-based on Perl and delivering e-commerce, ISP
-and communications services.
-
-He
-founded various organisations such as Open
-Source business integrator OpusVL and industry
-association OpenUK.

-When Stuart
-began using Perl at the start of his on-line

-alternatives.

+support and offer assistance and guidance.
 
-Stuart joined the
-Foundation because he is grateful that Perl
-enabled him to solve many business data
-challenges. “I think it is important for
-anyone who has built a career in digital
-technology to find ways to give back to the
-communities that enabled them, either
-financially, or by sharing experience and
-time.”

-He believes non-technical
-roles, such as legal, marketing and community
-support, are important to help the Perl and
-Raku communities.

-The President of the Foundation is free to

-role: the first President concentrated on
-conferences and on incorporating TPF as a
-non-profit foundation; the previous
-President focused on stability. In his role
-as President, Stuart is keen to develop
-committees and engagement with the Perl and
-Raku communities, as well as sponsors and
