3	3	I have been benefiting from and contributing to the free software (and later open source software) community since about 1986 when I was in graduate school at Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon, USA. My earliest experience with free software was when I was working on my [[Masters thesis>>url:http://ir.library.oregonstate.edu/xmlui/bitstream/handle/1957/21863/PillayHarish1990.pdf||rel="__blank"]] that was to build a TCP/IP stack into the OS/2 operating system. If it was not for the collaboration and ability to share code on usenet and ftp sites, I would have taken a much longer time to complete what I did.
