Scott Dowdle

I've been using Linux since 1995, Red Hat Linux since 1996, and Fedora since Fedora Core 1 was released. I prefer Fedora for desktop usage and am currently running Fedora 10 at home and Fedora 9 at work. On servers I prefer RHEL or CentOS.

I run the MontanaLinux.org[1] website which is a content hub for LUGs in the state of Montana (USA). So far there is the BozemanLUG (which I'm the leader of), HelenaLUG, BillingsLUG and MissoulaLUG.

I am very active in the OpenVZ Project[2] and maintain OS Templates for CentOS and Fedora (updated monthly) which can be found in the OpenVZ contrib area[3].

IRC: I hang out on #ubuntu-montana, #openvz, #moodle, and #zimbra with the registered nick of dowdle. I visit the #fedora channel sometimes but the channel traffic is so heavy it is hard for me to keep up with so I don't hang out there all of the time.

I am new to the project and just dipping my toe in the water at the moment although I have been promoting Red Hat and Fedora for many years by writing articles and reviews on my website and by burning CDs and DVDs given away at LUG meetings.

At some point in the future, I want to see if I can get the Fedora Project interested in making OpenVZ a stock part of the distro.
