<br>
I just joined the list and wanted to introduce myself. I've relocated
back to MN after a fourteen year stint on the west coast. <br>
<br>
I grew up near </span></font>Detroit Lake where I was an Apple geek since I was
5 years old (go go Apple II!!). My first job out of college was with
Apple, where I spent 2 years doing software configuration and release
management. <br>
<br>
Following Apple I fled from the Silicon Valley and its overpriced real estate
market to the Silicon Forest in Portland, OR, where I worked within the part of
IT @ Intel responsible for maintaining the silicon design and validation
environments. What was a very large *NIX (AIX/HP-UX/Solaris) environment
became a GNU/Linux environment while I was there. My role was
debugging/building/distribution Open Source tools used within the design and
validation environments world-wide (across Linux and the commercial flavors I
previously mentioned). Quite a lot of interesting problems to solve in an
environment like that. Along the way I traded in my Apple enthusiasm for
FOSS. <br>
<br>
With my family mostly in MN, the advent of parenthood made the distance between
here and there seem immensely greater. I was afforded a chance to
relocate to central MN with my in-laws, and decided to go for it. I'm now
in the St. Cloud area, and it seems this LUG is the closest one too me. I
was hoping for a LUG in St. Cloud/Central Minnesota - anyone else on the list
in my neck of the woods?<br>
<br>
I'm happy to see there are some kindred spirits here in MN. :) Nice to
meet you all! <br>
<br>
