Projects
A list of things that I'm working on.
== May 2006 - Connecting Up 06 (May 1-2) ==
The South Australian State Government runs a conference for people involved in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in the Not-for-profit and Community sector.
This is an ideal opportunty to promote Ubuntu and other related projects. * Ubuntu * Software Freedom Day - September * Linux Australia
Current actions
* Requested 100 CDROMs from ShipIT. Not sure if they'll get here in time though. * Seeking sponsorship from Linux Australia sponsorship for booth ($550) and attendance($220). * Contact other FLOSS minded people who may be going, to let them know we'll be there.
A Brief Introduction
Currently, Paul works on Linux systems for the Adelaide company, Robway Crane Safety Systems. In past lives he has worked with large SQL databases (education), been a Unix/Linux System Administrator(defence), and developed network software(startup). Oh, yeah and he also studied Physics and Mathematics at the University of Adelaide.
He is also involved in LinuxSA (The South Australian Linux User Group, http://www.linuxsa.org.au) and has given presentations on topics of personal interest, ranging from distributed computing, embedded Linux and 'git'.
He enjoys having a local public library that he can walk to, although he has to bring his own software as they are yet to appriciate the benefits of Free ad Open Source.

Paul maintains a community news site and is in the habit of passing out Ubuntu and TheOpenCD CD's whenever he can.
He is also working on Linux 2.6.x support for Compulab's ARMCore-GX (system on a board). This embedded system uses the Intel's XScale PXA255 processor. Cross platform development is done on both Intel i686 and PowerPC (Mac Mini) platforms (thanks to Ubuntu!)
