Corbin Simpson is a student at Linn-Benton Community College and will be returning to Oregon State University in Fall 2011. He has been an open-source programmer since 2005 and joined the wider community in 2008 with contributions to the X.Org Foundation. He is a Linux Plumber and has contributed to many open-source projects outside of the Open Source Lab, including Mesa,X.org, and Linux.

Corbin has advanced proficiency in Python and C, and fluency in C++, Java, Javascript, HTML, XML, CSS, GL/GLSL, shell, and several flavors of assembly. These claims remain unsubstantiated.

Outside of work, Corbin is a professional musician, and is never far from a piano. He has a large collection of video cards and old video game consoles, most of which are Linux-friendly or in the process of acquiring Linux compatibility.
