Formally, he has<br \/>\nworked as (in order) a Navy Electronics Tech, a Self Employed Window<br \/>\nCleaner, a Furniture mover, and a Furniture Sales Man.  Then one day he<br \/>\nwoke up and decided to be a computer tech.  As his wife, a commercial<br \/>\nprogrammer, would not let him run any unlicensed software, so he turned<br \/>\nto the freedom of Open Source and learned Linux.  As a self taught<br \/>\ncomputer aficionado, he made a career out of being a drop in support<br \/>\ntech. Along the way, he was hired by Dell to be an Enterprise Support<br \/>\nAnalyst and opened up the support center in OKC.  While there he<br \/>\nbecame a founding member of the &#8220;Alt OS Queue&#8221;, Dell-Speak for<br \/>\nanything NOT Windows, including VMware products.  After moving to the<br \/>\nAtlanta area to be close to his wife&#8217;s family, he connected with a startup<br \/>\ncompany that allowed him to experiment with Linux virtualization.<br \/>\nHe rolled out a few new product offerings based off of KVM, but due<br \/>\nto poor structuring, the company did not survive. He is currently<br \/>\nweighing his options for continuing to work professionally in Linux:<br \/>\n&#8220;I always look at technology from a practical view:  Yes, that&#8217;s cool,<br \/>\nbut what can it do for me?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>=============<br \/>\nWe will be meeting at Emory Law School in our<br \/>\nusual Gambrel Hall, room 1C venue.<br \/>\nMeeting time frame is 7:30pm to ~9:30pm<br \/>\nDirections to Emory Law School can be found<br \/>\nvia the side bar link.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The feature presentation at the ALE Central Meeting for 7:30pm on Thursday, Feb. 18th, 2010 will be: Native Linux Virtualization: An Overview of KVM Installation and Management with Damon Chesser == Synopsis: &#8212; An overview of the Kernel Virtual Machine with consideration of the advantages and disadvantages compared to technologies like Xen.
