[gentoo-dev] New Forums Staff : jmbsvicetto
Hi Everyone, Please welcome our latest forums staff, Jorge Vicetto aka jmbsvicetto. Here's an intro from him : I was born at Terceira Island, Azores. I've completed high school at Terceira and attended the computer and information science programme at the Portuguese College IST (Higher Technical Institute) at Lisbon. I've later returned to Terceira where I started working as a net/sys admin while completing a B.Sc. in Computer and Information Science with UMUC - University of Maryland University College. I've got my B.S. on June 2004. I was accepted for the M.Sc. in Internet Computing at the University of Liverpool on September 2005, having transfered to the M. Sc. in Information Technology (specialisation in Information Security). Currently, for personnal reasons, I've suspended my enrollment on the programme. I've been working at the Angra do Heroísmo Nursing School since September 1999 as a net/sys admin and consultant to the Director's board. I've also worked as a consultant for the Azorean Health Finantial Institute for 1 year and a half. I'm currently also working since October 2004 to the Angra do Heroísmo Hospital as net/sys admin and consultant. I started working with Linux around 1996. The first distribution I used was Slackware, probably 3.1. I then used 2 or 3 versions of Red Hat starting at 4.0 and including 5.2. I later switched to SuSE and used versions 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 7.0, 7.1, 8.0 and 9.0. From there I switched to Gentoo in March 2004 with the 2004.0 release. I think I tried the 1.4 release, although I'm not sure. I also tried FC1 and FC2, but never used it for long. I've since then used openSuSE 10.X at work. I also run SLES 9.0 at work. For recovery and testing I've used several versions of knoppix and sysresccd. I spend most of my time at work around the 2k/2k03 AD, doing the usual user, group and permissions management; looking over the network; taking care of the webmail and proxy servers; and creating, updating and maintaining our workstations. I've designed and helped implement the network at the Nursing School and was assigned to accompany the implementation of the network at the Hospital. I've designed and implemented the AD at both places. I've used Ghost and G4U to create the workstations for both places. I'm currently implementing park management with OCS_NG and GLPI. I keep a Postfix+Cyrus+Horde system for webmail and am currently switching it over to Gentoo. Throughout the years I've been maintaining systems running Oracle and Notes. I've also been running VMware GSX and now ESX Server. So, throw up the usual parties, say hello when you meet him and make him feel at home :) Regards, -- Shyam Mani | [EMAIL PROTECTED] docs-team | http://gdp.gentoo.org devrel | http://devrel.gentoo.org GPG Key| 0xFDD0E345 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
[gentoo-dev] New Security Dev : Falco
Hi Everyone, Please extend a warm welcome to Raphael Marichez aka Falco, our newest addition to the Security team. Raphael is in the process of finishing his studies in a high-level French engineering school (2 days left), after which he'll work as a security consultant near Paris. He is also the president of the Polytechnique.org association, which provides network services to the alumni of his school (for life redirection of email addresses with spam filters, forums and various webservices...) He is also fond of horse-riding, bird-watching, Belgian beers, French cheese and wine. -- Shyam Mani | [EMAIL PROTECTED] docs-team | http://gdp.gentoo.org devrel | http://devrel.gentoo.org GPG Key| 0xFDD0E345 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

[gentoo-dev] CFP, FOSS.IN/2005
Hey Everyone, This is like a bit too late, but I thought I'd post it anyway. My sincere apologies for the delayed post. Since the year 2001, the Linux Bangalore[1] conference, held every year in Bangalore, India, has been the most anticipated Free Open Source Software (FOSS) event of the year in India. FOSS.IN/2005 is the fifth in the series of these immensely successful conferences, and will be held from 29-Nov-2005 to 02-Dec-2005, at the Bangalore Palace, in Bangalore, India. This year, for the first time, we'll be having a Gentoo Stall (as part of the FOSS Expo, which is free of charge) and our very own Seemant Kulleen and myself will be the official Gentoo monkeys around. I'd like to invite all of you down to participate at FOSS.IN/2005 and you can head to the cfp page[2] for further details. You have around about 24 hours more to submit talks/workshops/tutorials etc...which I know is short notice...my apologies once again. Hoping to see some of you down here :) TIA and Regards, Shyam [1] http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/12/02/2314233 [2] http://foss.in/2005/cfp/ -- Shyam Mani | [EMAIL PROTECTED] docs-team | http://gdp.gentoo.org GPG Key| 0xFDD0E345 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
