Brief whois

Past bio

I am a community wrangler, demangler, and gardener, working for a team at Red Hat of community catalysts. For technical skills, you can consider me to be equivalent to a senior systems administrator and senior technical writer, i.e., I know enough to myself in to trouble and half way back out again.

Who was this guy really?

I was ...

• one of the Ambassadors, mainly in the Western United States ...
• a former writer, editor, and rabble-rouser of the Docs Project ...
• a former Fedora Project Board member ...
• the second and longest overdone Docs Project leader/chair ...
• doing small things for the Websites team ...
• a junior member of the Infrastructure project ...
• one of the many Marketing marketeers ...
• ... a user of Fedora.

In my non-Fedora and non-Red Hat life I am ...

• a father ...
• a resident of Santa Cruz, California, USA ...
• an organic urban homesteader ...
• a bicyclist ...
• a community activist ...
• a humanitarian ...
• usually happy. :)
