There are people in every community who give everything and ask for nothing in return. In the OpenSimulator metaverse, Fred Beckhusen — known to thousands by his avatar name Ferd Frederix — is that person. An engineer, programmer, 3D artist, world-builder, and open source advocate, Fred has spent nearly two decades quietly making OpenSim easier, richer, and more welcoming for everyone who enters it. His tools run on grids around the world. His scripts are embedded in regions he will never visit. His generosity has shaped the virtual lives of people he has never met.
