[TriLUG] Steering Committee Candidate Bio - Cristobal Palmer

[Cristobal Palmer]

Howdy folks.

I'm the guy that got elected to the SC by default a couple of months
ago. In the time since then, I've gotten a job working with Linux
(Cerient Technologies), gotten an introduction to our current TriLUG
cluster (the formation of a sys-ad sub-committee will help me move
along here), and made serious noises about reviving another LUG:

http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/unclug/2006-April/thread.html and
http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/unclug/2006-May/thread.html

I feel like I'm just getting started and would love the chance to keep
going for another year. If you elect me to the SC, I'd like to help
the LUG (a) form and maintain an active sys-ad subcommittee. The
current system of handing off all sysadmin duties from one person to
one other person is broken. More awareness and participation from the
wider membership would help ameliorate this situation. I'm not sure
all the members are aware just how many services are available through
the cluster. (b) institute (by amending the bylaws) an electronic
voting system that prints a paper ballot (and a receipt copy?) for the
voter which is then placed in a box to be counted (by hand in the case
of our small LUG), (c) encourage expansion of the wiki, (d) there's no
"d" here, (e) ??? and (f) Non-Profit! (we're a 501(c)(3) after all).

So... that's about it. Any questions? We'll have a quiz tomorrow at
~19:00. Bring two forms of ID and gpg slips.

Linux-ily Yours,
CMP
