Other Stuff

I'm a high school teacher at Yorktown High School in Arlington, Virginia. I've been using GNU/Linux in the classroom since 1994, and teaching Computer Science with Python since 1998.

Education

I have an Associate Degree in Computer Science from Northern Virginia Community College, a Bachelors Degree in Mathematics from University of Maryland, College Park, and a Masters Degree in Computer Science from Bowie State University.

Ubuntu Stuff

My friend PaulFlint introduced me to Ubuntu in December, 2004, when he dressed up as Santa Claus ("Saint Nicholinus", he says) and handed out "Warty" CDs. "Hoary" got me hooked, and I've been installing Ubuntu everywhere I go ever since.

I attended the UbuntuDownUnder and UbuntuBelowZero developer summits where I worked on the specification for Edubuntu.

I am also actively involved with the SchoolTool project, as project manager for a competency tracking application called CanDo being written by two of my former students which is being built on top of SchoolTool.

Community Involvement

I'm a founding member of the DC Ubuntu LoCo Team and YHSLUG. I've setup or helped setup Edubuntu/Ubuntu labs in the following location in the DC metro area:

  1. Yorktown High School, Arlington, VA - in the CS lab (http://linus.yhspatriot.net/cs).
