About
I began using Unix in 1989 and have been using Linux since 1994 when I co-founded Silicon Valley Public Access Link (SV-PAL or www.svpal.org), a FreeNet for Santa Clara County that is still a self-sustaining not for profit ISP. I have contributed patches to several open source software projects. I was a registered Debian Developer but package maintenance is not something I developed a passion for. I worked as a full time employee with the US branch of SuSE from 1999 to 2001 (pre-Novell acquisition).
Contributions
Since June, 2008 I have been active with the California LoCo. I have represented Ubuntu at Lindependence in Felton, CA and numerous user groups. Due to the density of Linux activity in northern California it makes sense to work with and support LUG efforts as well as our own launch parties and conference booths.
Present & Future Goals
Development of the California Loco team is my first priority. I plan to go through the formal Ubuntu Member process. I am always looking for ways to help promote the adoption of Ubuntu more broadly. (bug#1)
