Jim Stogdill

Jim Stogdill is the CTO of Gestalt, now part of Accenture, where he advocates the development of open source software in government and defense. He believes, perhaps naively, that open source can help break the proprietary lock in business model that is the norm in that space. In previous lives he built B2B reverse auction systems, brought heuristic-based optimization and online trading to the corporate treasury, and traveled the world as a Navy Officer. Unfortunately from his vantage point it all looked like the inside of a submarine. He spends his free time hacking silver halides with decidedly low-tech gear.

Jim Stogdill是Gestalt的CTO，现在Gestalt是Accenture的一部分。在这里他推广政府和防御系统中开源软件的发展。他相信（也许有些天真）开源软件能够帮助打破商业模式中私有软件的封锁。此前他还构建了B2B反向拍卖系统，购买基于启发式的优化系统和在线交易系统，他还作为一名海军军官游历了全世界。很不幸的是在此过程中他总是在潜艇里。业余时间他用绝对简单的设备来研究卤化银。
