Make your ego porous. Will is of little importance, complaining is nothing, fame is nothing. Openness, patience, receptivity, solitude is everything.

[edit] About me
Hello, my name is Samuel Klein. I am currently an elected member of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees (related ideas). To leave me a message about Foundation matters, you can reach me here or on the Meta-wiki. Talk page messages will receive the fastest response; you can also reach me by email at meta.sj at gmail. If you have suggestions about how to improve aspects of the Projects or Wikimedia as a whole, please share them on our new Strategy wiki.
I am a Wikipedian, a one laptop per child director and local community organizer, a mathematics and physics zealot, a clutch proofreader, and a long-time Bostonian. In 2008 I edited How Wikipedia Works (published with no starch[1]), a GFDL book aimed at reducing community barriers to entry for new Wikipedians. My brother Sebastian Gray is my inspiration. :-) See my blog, SJ's Longest Now, and the OLPC Wiki for more.
My current favorite page is Wikipedia:Backlog. I have been a Wikipedian since January 2004. I am an administrator here and on the Nahuatl and Swahili Wikipedias, and was a steward for the other Wikimedia projects for some years; if you need assistance with a small project that does not currently have active administrators, you can ask me for help. I speak and write about what Wiki[p|m]edia does, and organizing local and international community events. I enjoy working on related projects: I was the secretary of the special projects committee, contributed to early community-run communication and grant-writing processes, and have a server dedicated to analyzing and running regular statistics on Wikipedia data.
I work to expand the world's collection of free knowledge: identifying and freeing large data repositories and publications owned by well-meaning but copyright-confused people and groups. In 2006, I was appointed director of content for the One Laptop per Child foundation, helping to distribute access to these collections and the ability to contribute to them. Since 2010, I have also been in charge of community outreach at OLPC. From 2004 to 2006 I worked at synchronizing Wikipedia-wide translations and bringing together translators from across the projects. You can reach me by phone at +1 617 529 4266. I have an xdi sj-entity, but no .sj domain (Svalbard and Jan Mayen do not seem to allow registrations. If you know of exceptions to this policy, let me know!).
Things I love: physics, language, The City++++++, perma-tools, music, poetry, color, nature, meta-lists, stub-sorters, Life, F*C, Cups
Things I loathe: simple dichotomy, navels, myopia, wanton arrogation, addiction to stasis.
Things I miss: all-hands public debates about the projects, quartile updates, GFDL flamewars, single-page VfD (sic), Rambot debates, writing contests, corporate entities flaming Wikipedia, multilingual wikipedia-l threads.
Things I am not: SJ, /SJ, e-SJ, sj, SJK, Sjc(+), Sjc196, SJK, SV, Sjakkalle, Sjorford, Essjay, -R, a Hazard, a sjphone.com phone), bearded woodsman sjklein, a Jesuit society, Gambro's CIO, an antique diarist, a My-Br temperament, an arctic isle, a moral lawyer, a Burgess bird, a department store, a fabricated Sox fan, racter, a Giant, Shark, or library, or ED of a Coexistence Trust. I do not recall attending Jon Stewart's Rally to Restore Sanity dressed as a tea bag. I do hoard Klein bottles, and look snappy in a trenchcoat, but did not model for Levine's detective Sam Klein.

In parting: "Humanity will be destroyed in about a billion years due to increasing sun temperature, and in about five billion years we'll be engulfed by the sun. Hopefully by then we will have colonized other planets, but if we haven't, Wikipedia will be destroyed."
