I am a software developer based in the UK with a degree in philosophy and religion from the University of London. I am interested in both technology and philosophical issues. I also run GetSemantic.com, a wiki for covering Semantic Web technology. I have a blog at [http://tommorris.org tommorris.org] and have a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Tom_Morris Wikipedia account].

I'm a freelance and hobbyist programmer ([[Ruby (programming language)|Ruby]] and [[Scala (programming language)|Scala]]), have an MA in philosophy from [[Heythrop College]], [[University of London]], help run [[BarCamp]]s. I'm a [[vegetarian]], like [[soul music]], [[UNIX]], am an [[atheism|atheist]], like to think about [[metaphysics]] and [[epistemology]], am a recovering libertarian who has turned back to being a political lefty.


I'm based near London, and am interested in organising Citizendium London meetups, possibly '''Research Days''', where - maybe with the institutional blessing of academic or research libraries, we descend as a group, and collaboratively work on articles for a day. I'm interested in hearing from anyone who's interested in such a possibility, and academic or research libraries who would be willing to let a bunch of Citizendium authors in to read your books.
