| 9 | === Who am I? === | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | [[image:frank_laptop.png||style="float: left;" width="300"]]I'm Frank Matranga, a native New Yorker, student, volunteer, and self-taught [[open source developer>>url:https://github.com/Apexal||style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"]] & proponent. Currently an undergraduate Freshman studying Information Technology and Web Science & Computer Science at Renssealer Polytechnic Institute, **I desire to serve the OSI Board as a fierce advocate for student awareness and involvement in open source for the benefit of local communities.** Although I am running alongside candidates who have actively served the open source community longer than I've been able to type, I have dedicated much of my life working on open source projects that benefit local communities and school communities. | ||

| 13 | == Service Work == | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | Over the past 5 years I have volunteered to develop open source technologies for multiple non-profit organizations ranging in size and scale from my local food pantry (which I serve as a board member of) to national organizations such as [[Kids Tales>>url:http://kidstales.org/]] and [[WeShelter>>url:http://weshelter.org/]] to multiple homeless [[shelters >>url:https://newyorkcityrelief.org/]]in Manhattan, where I attended high school. | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | While my student responsibilities have restrained me from participating in larger open source communities simply due to lack of available time, I have nevertheless managed to bring and advocate for open source work to every educational institution I've passed through. | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | === Projects === | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | Open source has allowed me to single-handedly and freely (in every sense of the word) develop solutions to problems I have faced in my career as a student. [More info coming soon!] | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | === Why me? === | ||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | I am an extremely active developer (I've made over 2,100 open source contributions in the past year alone!). [More info coming soon!] | ||
