- Fields of interest 
  (e.g. computer linguistics, numerical analysis, business software, 
  medicine, bioinformatics): 
  
   The primary interest at my work is making software accessible to the 
   blind and visually impaired; otherwise I don't have a particular 
   field of interest right now, computers are fun generally :-). 
  
- Have you written any Lisp-related papers? If so, please supply 
  bibliographical references (and URL's, if possible). 
  
   No, only popular articles. 
  
- Have you developed or participated in the development of any 
  Lisp-related programs or libraries? If so, please supply a URL, 
  if possible. 
  
   Lisp related projects at http://www.freebsoft.org. 
   Random small contributions to various projects, especially Emacs. 
  
- Lisp variants you have used (e.g. Common Lisp, Scheme, Dylan): 
  
   Common Lisp, Elisp, Scheme 
  
- Lisp variants you're currently using or intend to use in the 
  near future: 
  
   Common Lisp, Elisp, Scheme 
  
- Lisp implementations you have used 
  (e.g. CMUCL, Lispworks, Allegro Common Lisp): 
  
   CMUCL, SBCL, CLISP, Elisp, Guile, SIOD 
  
- Lisp implementations you're currently using or intend to use 
  in the near future: 
  
   Mostly SBCL and Elisp 
  
- Computer platforms on which you're using or deploying Lisp: 
  
   GNU/Linux x86 
  
- Number of years of experience with Lisp: 
  
   10 
  
- Do you use Lisp: 
  - at work (if so, how much) 
  - for study (if so, how much) 
  - as a hobby (if so, how much) 
  
   At work: significantly 
  
   As a hobby: little, due to lack of free time available to computers 
  
- Are you using Lisp as much as you would like to? 
  
   No. 
  
  If not, why not? 
  
   Lack of: 
  
   * My free time available to computers. 
  
   * Interest of free software developers in efficient software 
    development. 
  
   * Lisp knowledge among my colleagues.  
  
- Do you see any obstacles to further Lisp growth (if so, what 
  is the biggest obstacle in your opinion)? 
  
   Yes.  I can't see the biggest obstacle, but I think we could 
   contribute to Lisp growth if: 
  
   * More actually useful (i.e. clean and well documented) Free 
    Software Common Lisp libraries were available. 
  
   * A usable Common Lisp Web browser was written. 
  
- Would you be interested in a Lisp-related job or contract work? 
  
   I might be interested in a part-time job or contract. 
  
- Is your organization interested in hiring Lisp programmers? 
  
   Whether someone is a Lisp programmer is not an issue for us. 
  
- Are you currently participating in Lisp-related meetings? 
  
   No. 
  
  If so, where and how often? 
  If not, would you be interested in such meetings? 
  
   Perhaps, depending on their goals and location.
