Mike Linksvayer, by Joi Ito

Mike Linksvayer is vice president of Creative Commons.

Mike holds a B.A. in economics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and has experience as a software developer and consultant.1 He joined Creative Commons as CTO in April 2003,1 and held that position until April 2007 when he became vice president.2 He also co-founded Bitzi.1

The former executive director of Creative Commons, Glenn Otis Brown, noted that Mike brought much-needed stability to the organization, comparing his role to that of a drummer in a band.3

Mike is a vegan and follows a low-calorie diet. He was featured in a news story carried by a number of sources suggesting that calorie-restricted diets may extend life span.456 Said Linksvayer, "I don't really get sick. Mostly I do the diet to be healthier, but if it helps me live longer, hey, I'll take that, too."4

Linksvayer has encouraged NASA to use public APIs to open up its data, which are in the public domain since they constitute government works. This would allow the data to be used in mashups. He also suggested that scientists and other planetary societies use Creative Commons licenses to disseminate photos and other works so that the public has better access to them.7

Mike is an active Wikipedian.8
