Sarah Adelaida McIntire

In the summer of 2009 Sarah Adelaida McIntire was a Residency Program Fellow (RPF). During her time as a RPF Adelaida served as the Free Software Foundation's first campaign intern. She spent a great deal of time editing the LibrePlanet wiki and fighting the evil forces of proprietary software one anti-DRM blog post at a time.

Adelaida loved her residency program so much she came very close to serving a second term- living in the library- during the summer of 2010. Instead, she ended up as the 2010 summer Activism/Meme team intern at the Electronic Frontier Foundation in San Francisco.

Adelaida studies Gender/Feminism and STS at Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusettes. She is interested in studying identity especially in relation to gender, sexuality and technology. That is, how gender/sexuality/technology influence identity formation and what identity means for people a given social context.

Adelaida finally decided to ask people to call her by her middle name Adelaida, instead of her first name Sarah during her time as a RPF. Guide to pronouncing Adelaida:
