I’m Steve Friedl, a sixty-something software consultant in Southern California, with a special interest of hiking in the Santa Ana Mountains. I live in Irvine with my wife, who I met hiking in those mountains. I haven’t done much hiking lately.

Biggest pet peeve: straight roads should be straight!

You can see how busy I’ve been (or not) here: How did I contribute?

I was pleased and honored to receive, along with my MWG colleague Guillaume Rischard (Stereo), the OSM “Influential Writing Award” in fall 2019 for our work investigating the unusual signups prior to the 2018 board election.
