GitHub Sponsors Profile
Hi! I'm Simon Michael, an independent software consultant and FOSS developer, currently based in Hawaii.
I created and lead the hledger project - a powerful, robust, user-friendly Plain Text Accounting system for personal and business finances. Other projects include plaintextaccounting.org, darcs hub, shelltestrunner, Zwiki, and the old Zope Wiki (zopewiki.org). Some FOSS communities where you may have seen my activity are: Plain Text Accounting, Haskell, Darcs, Squeak Smalltalk, and Zwiki/Zope/Python.
I've been a FOSS contributor and project leader for perhaps 20 years. As a freelancer/consultant for most of that time, I've been able to give a lot of "spare" time to the community in this way. This is a pretty big investment of life energy, but it makes me happy, and it's one of the ways I try to be of service in the world.
I hope that at least hledger, or my Plain Text Accounting writings, have saved you some money, time, and stress.
If you have enjoyed or received benefit from my work - software, project management, community building, writing, teaching, support - or if you'd like to see it continue, and accelerate - I ask for your help. Remember that some form of "tithing" is a time-honoured and powerful way to seed the idea of prosperity and mastery over money in your consciousness. Giving to each other makes us all richer. From me and my family, thanks a lot for your support!
