Rob Savoye

Hi, I'm Rob, a self-employed computer consultant. I work at home in my living room here on Caribou Ranch. This place use to be Caribou Recording studio years ago... I specialize in development tools (compilers & debuggers), operating systems, graphics, robotics, embedded systems, and web stuff. I'm also a long-time Linux hacker, and member of the GNU project. Email me if you any projects that could use my assistance. Current Open Source projects I'm the primary maintainer of are DejaGnu, the GNU regression testing framework, and Nilo, the GNU network boot loader.

I live a few miles outside of the town of Nederland, at the gateway to the Indian Peaks Wilderness, and surrounded by Roosevelt National Forest. Nederland's a town of about 1500 people 20 miles west of Boulder at about 8236 feet. I have a great view of the Continental Divide from here, it's only walking distance away. :-) Here's a few pictures of my house if you want to see what it looks like.

For those that must see what I look like, here's a fairly recent picture.

Alternative Living Technologies: This is a collection of information on appropriate technologies for waste processing, power generation, greywater, domes, and greenhouses.
Road Trips: I really love road trips, Ever read Jack Kerovac's "On The Road" ? I used to do tours with the Grateful Dead, plus the epic climbing trips too. I scanned in some photos from some of my various trips if you'd like to see what I do for fun.
Outdoor Sports: Among my interests (other than computers) are outdoor sports, namely Climbing, (rock, ice, winter mountaineering, caving, etc...), Snow Shoeing, Sking (backcountry and Cross Country), kayaking, and rafting.
Alternative Living: I'm also a long time Dead Head, and a Rainbow Family focalizer. I'm a supporter of the home and community, hence I believe strongly in home-birthing, home-schooling, building community, and an active, healthy life-style. I also think that striving for low-impact on the planet and self-sufficiency is a good thing.
Computer Related Stuff: As far as computer passions go, I'm heavily into embedded systems, realtime OS's, graphics, FREE software, and Community access to Internet. I'm also the author of DejaGnu, the GNU testing framework, and Libgloss, the GNU BSP package, and primary maintainer of Nilo, the GNU network boot loader.
Local Colorado Stuff: Various non-profit groups that I work with are the Colorado Legal Eagles, Mt Peoples Coop, Colorado Hemp Initiative Project, Boulder Community Network (BCN), and the new PeakNet.
Cisco Ad: I've long had a Cisco 2000 router for my net connection, which has survived almost 8 years of what passes for electrical power around here. So when they asked me to do an ad, I thought I'd return the favor. This was publish during April, 1999 in Japanese newspapers.
