Who is Stuart Langridge?

Stuart Langridge is the author of two books for technical publisher SitePoint, DHTML Utopia, and Run Your Own Web Server Using Linux & Apache as well as writing the Stylish Scripting weblog during 2005. Langridge is a member of the Web Standards Project's DOM Scripting Task Force, an invited expert on the W3C HTML Working Group and is an acknowledged commentator on DOM Scripting and JavaScript techniques.

His current projects include Jokosher, a multi-track audio editor for GNOME, and Jackfield, a program to run Mac OS X Dashboard widgets under GNOME. In addition, he worked on Desktop Couch in his role as Canonical Ltd. staffer.

Despite this, Langridge is perhaps best known as a presenter of the now defunct LugRadio, which was a free software podcast in the UK. Along with Jono Bacon, he was the longest-serving member of the team and often served to incite discussion around issues that more directly related to software freedom. In LugRadio he frequently advocated freedom, yet despite this often attracted criticism for using proprietary software.

Langridge has recently been involved in the Shot of Jaq podcast, in collaboration with his former Lugradio co-host Jono Bacon.
