Stuart Langridge (also known as 'Aq' [ [http://www.lugradio.org/presenters/ LUGradio Presenters] ] or 'Zippy' ) is a Django developer for a media firm based in the United Kingdom. He is the author of two books for technical publisher SitePoint, "DHTML Utopia" [ [http://www.sitepoint.com/books/dhtml1/ http://www.sitepoint.com/books/dhtml1/] ] , and "Run Your Own Web Server Using Linux & Apache" [ [http://www.sitepoint.com/books/linux1/ http://www.sitepoint.com/books/linux1/] ] (with Tony Steidler-Dennison) as well as writing the Stylish Scripting weblog [ [http://www.sitepoint.com/books/dhtml1/ http://www.sitepoint.com/books/dhtml1/] ] during 2005. Langridge is a member of the Web Standards Project's DOM Scripting Task Force [ [http://domscripting.webstandards.org/ http://domscripting.webstandards.org/] ] , an invited expert on the W3C HTML Working Group and is an acknowledged commentator on DOM Scripting and JavaScript techniques.

His current projects include Jokosher, a multi-track audio editor for GNOME, and Jackfield, a program to run Mac OS X Dashboard widgets under GNOME.

Despite this, Langridge is perhaps best known as a presenter of the now defunct LugRadio, which was a free software podcast in the UK. Along with Jono Bacon, he was the longest serving member of the team and often served to incite discussion around issues that more directly related to software freedom. [ [http://www.lugradio.org/episodes/#episode53 LUGRadio Episode 53] ] In LugRadio he frequently advocated freedom, yet despite this often attracted criticism for using proprietary software [ [http://www.lugradio.org/episodes/#episode45 LUGRadio Episode 45] ] .
