My name is Matt Frye and I would like the opportunity to be of service to TriLUG as a member of the Steering Committee. I am currently Chairman of the Steering Committee for North Carolina System Administrators, a Red Hat Community Ambassador, a new member of the editorial staff for LinuxWorld Magazine, and an writer for other Linux and Unix related magazines.
As such, I feel I am uniquely qualified to provide contacts, support, and organizational skills to TriLUG. For example, I succeeded in getting Red Hat to provide a $500 "Gold Sponsorship" of NC*SA in 2004, and have recently confirmed another $500 for 2005. I organize monthly talks at NC*SA which often touch on Linux and Open Source and am a contributing member to TriLUG. In March 2005, I gave a presentation based on my Linux Magazine article (March 2005) "The Coroner's Toolkit." Since I believe that a fundamental value of associations like NC*SA (and user groups alike) is community service, I organized the first ever NC*SA Holiday Food Drive in December 2004 which collected 41 lbs of canned and dry goods for Raleigh Rescue Mission. I hope that you will consider granting me your vote for the Steering Committee. I will work for you.
