[clug-talk] Greetings

[Lance A. Brown]

Hi folks,

I just joined the list from bright and sunny North Carolina, USA. :-)
My fiance is visiting at the University of Calgary that has offered her
a postdoctoral position and I'm looking to scope out the job situation
for linux geeks in the Calgary area.  We are both quite excited at the
prospect of moving to Calgary and think it will be a great adventure. :-)

I'm a linux system administrator and programmer with 14 years experience
managing a wide variety of linux installations, mostly Red Hat and
CentOS based with recent forays into Ubuntu for desktop/laptop use.

I've worked as the team lead responsible for deploying and managing the
infrastructure services for a large research institute (DNS, SMTP, DHCP,
NetApp storage, Oracle, VMWare, highly-available web services, etc.) and
am currently the go-to guy for a university department that operates
almost all of its own computing services, handing everything from
servers to desktops.

I also do web-based applications programming using Perl, PHP, Drupal,
and CiviCRM, providing automation of system administration tasks,
business tasks, and helping nonprofit organizations get a handle on
their membership management and event organizing needs.

I look forward to getting to know you all and hopefully meet you in the
coming months.
