\n11.2 install disks and discusses the work behind all the feature
\nadditions and updates found in the latest OpenSUSE offering.<\/p>\n

Chuck will additionally explain how any user can tinker with
\nOpenSUSE by building their own distro or appliance package
\nusing the SUSE Studio online services.<\/p>\n

Light refreshments and s.w.a.g. (courtesy of Novell \/ SUSE)
\nare also expected, along with a concerted effort to answer
\nanyone’s questions about OpenSUSE and the 11.2 release.<\/p>\n

Bio:
\n— Chuck “PUP” Payne has been working with computers since
\nhis parents gave him an Atari 130XE for his 16th birthday.
\nComputing turned from hobby to career in 1998, the year he
\nstarted exploring GNU Linux with Slackware, Red Hat and SUSE,
\nand took on his first job as a System Administrator. He is
\ncurrently employed by Travel Channel Media as a Unix Systems
\nAdmin, where day to day tasks include managing 70+ Red Hat
\nLinux Servers, 20 Solaris Servers, and a handful of Mac XServers.

In April 2009 Chuck’s application to be a regional volunteer
\nambassador for OpenSUSE was accepted, facilitating his goals
\nof helping people discover the benefits of Free Software,
\nGNU\/Linux and the OpenSUSE distributions. In his free time he
\nbolsters his geek cred by writing bash scripts or php code,
\nhacking hardware in his home gadget lab, and watching any
\nand all Zombie flicks that cross his path.<\/p>\n
