Hi All, We only had 1 self nomination for the co-principal of the USA side of the group. I've very much like to thank Bob Oesterlin for nominating himself to help Kristy with the USA side of things. I've spoken a few times with Bob "off-list" and he's helped me out with a few bits and pieces.
As you may have seen, Kristy has been posting from [email protected], I'll sort another address out for the co-principal role today. Both Kristy and Bob seem determined to get the USA group off the ground and I wish them every success with this. Simon Bob's profile follows: LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/boboesterlin Short Profile: I have over 15 years experience with GPFS. Prior to 2013 I was with IBM and wa actively involved with developing solutions for customers using GPFS both inside and outside IBM. Prior to my work with GPFS, I was active in the AFS and OpenAFS community where I served as one of founding Elder members of that group. I am well know inside IBM and have worked to maintain my contacts with development. After 2013, I joined Nuance Communications where I am the Sr Storage Engineer for the HPC grid. I have been active in the GPFS DeveloperWorks Forum and the mailing list, presented multiple times at IBM Edge and IBM Interconnect. I'm active in multiple IBM Beta programs, providing active feedback on new products and future directions. For the user group, my vision is to build an active user community where we can share expertise and skills to help each other. I'd also like to see this group be more active in shaping the future direction of GPFS. I would also like to foster broader co-operation and discussion with users and administrators of other clustered file systems.
