  Fatiando a Terra

  Mar 2010 - now

  In 2022, I assumed the role of Benevolent Dictator For Life (BDFL) of Fatiando a Terra as part of the creation of a more formal governance structure for the project. The BDFL is chair of the Steering Council and has the same responsibilities of other Council members. In addition:• As Dictator, they, have the authority to make all final decisions for The Project.• As Benevolent, they, in practice, chooses to defer that authority to the consensus of the Community and Steering Council.
