I am a software developer based in the UK with a degree in philosophy and religion from the University of London, and in September I am starting an MA in Philosophy at [[Heythrop College]], [[University of London]]. I am interested in both technology and philosophical issues. I also run [http://getsemantic.com 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]. My participation in [[Citizendium]] should not be taken as an endorsement of the thesis of [[Andrew Keen]] - far preferring the calm and reasoned approach of CZ's own [[User:Larry Sanger|Larry Sanger]]!

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. More details on [[User:Tom Morris/London Research Day]].
My personal site is [http://tommorris.org/ tommorris.org]. I'm also on [http://twitter.com/tommorris Twitter] and put my code up on [http://github.com/tommorris Github]. I have a [http://blog.tommorris.org blog].
