           15 &lt;p&gt;We're so happy to feature our incredible matchers this year! Thanks to all of them for contributing to our &lt;a href="https://sfconservancy.org/news/2024/nov/26/2024-fundraiser/"&gt;largest match goal yet&lt;/a&gt;. Today we're talking with Patrick Masson, Executive Director of the &lt;a href="https://apereo.org/"&gt;Apereo Foundation&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
           16 
           17 &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;SFC&lt;/b&gt;: Tell us a bit about yourself! Where are you from, what are some of your hobbies? Social media?&lt;/p&gt;
           18 
           19 &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Patrick&lt;/b&gt;: I am currently the Executive Director of the Apereo Foundation. Apereo was established in 2012 as a non-profit organization and works to support and develop open source software for higher education. The foundation's mission is to assist academia in developing, adopting, and maintaining open source software for teaching, learning, and research. Before Apereo, I was the General Manager of the Open Source Initiative. I have also worked in higher education as a CIO of The State University of New York, Delhi, and CTO at the University of Massachusetts, Office of the President. I started my career as a Scientific Illustrator, moving from pen and ink to computer-generated imaging, thus leading to my later roles in academic computing and free and open-source software. &lt;/p&gt;

           22 &lt;p&gt;I live in Albany, New York, moving here from southern California (San Diego and Santa Monica) about 20 years ago. I am on &lt;a href="https://fosstodon.org/@massonpj"&gt;Mastodon&lt;/a&gt; at @massonpj@fosstodon.org. I have a Twitter account, but it is dormant and redirects to Mastodon. I'm on &lt;a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrick-masson-apereo/"&gt;LinkedIn&lt;/a&gt; but rarely participate. In addition to working at Apereo, I am an adjunct professor at The University at Albany, teaching "Open Source Princinples and Practices" in the College of Computing &amp; Information. I also served on my local school board for four years, 2014-2018. I enjoy playing hockey and biking (slow touring, nothing serious) with my wife, Jamie. We have two sons--and despite all my tutelage and advocacy, one works for Microsoft as a software engineer developing very proprietary video games--Thanksgiving is tough ;-).&lt;/p&gt;

           24 &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;SFC&lt;/b&gt;: Why do you care about software freedom? How long have you been involved?&lt;/p&gt;
