Seth Nickell
Seth is an interaction designer who likes to masquerade as a programmer.
He's been overly enthusiastic about free software since getting involved
with the Gnome project 5 years ago where he's project lead for Gnome
usability (amongst other nefarious activities such as Storage).
Seth has a BS in Symbolic Systems HCI from Stanford University and is
currently a visiting researcher at PARC.
