While writing a candidate bio isn't required, I figured I send out a little more information for those who don't know me well.
My name is Matt Frye and I'm running for Steering Committee. I'm a Systems Engineer at Tekelec by day and a writer for various Linux/Unix related magazines by night. I'm also working on a book about virtualization with Xen due out in January 2007. I am an active contributor to the LUG having given two monthly presentations in the last 14 months. I was also Chairman of the Steering Committee of NC*SA for two years, so I'm experienced at running organizations like TriLUG. This past fall, I passed along two new 1U rack-mount servers to the Steering Committee for use in the TriLUG cluster, free of charge (hardware courtesy of Penguin Computing), and last year organized a location and catering for the TriLUG Samba 101 class. For the last two years, I have organized a holiday food drive at TriLUG and NC*SA to benefit Raleigh Rescue Mission and plan to continue this worthy tradition. I hope my dedication to the LUG is evident. If elected to the Steering Committee I plan to work for the expansion of TriLUG services, obtaining material and financial support for the LUG wherever possible. Thanks and see you tomorrow night.
