My background and reason for wanting to be the new contact

 

My background is in IT, I have been a consultant since 1989 have worked
all around the US for companies such as IBM, Lucent Technologies,
Phillips Electronics, Origin, The Hartford Insurance, Chase Bank
Services, CheckFree, CompuServe, Lotus, and more then  I care to list
here.

I own and operate a Web Hosting and Design service in central Ohio. My
servers run on CentOs and my preferred OS is Ubuntu. I have been an avid
fan of Linux since the command line days, Calderas was the first Linux
GUI interface that I used (don't hate me, they had a good OS at one time
until they lost their collective minds). With being the boss I have
plenty of time to devote to something I believe in and I truly believe
in Linux and Ubuntu. 

As for leading/govern the major goals would be to get the community more
active and to get the word out about Linux and the easy of use of Ubuntu
and open source. To take active part in any and all Linux and open
source activities throughout the state. To work to create a more helpful
support system for the new users where more of the community lends a
hand. Also to work to help link more Linux users, user groups and
support site into a more user friendly system, not everyone out there
thinking about Linux are Geeks and propeller head... Like me.
