I am the Point of Contact & Leader for Ubuntu Ohio as from April 7, 2013. Due to rather harsh terms of employment, a '''Delegation of Authority''' allows for three deputies to act in my stead during any prolonged absences. I am currently not absent from the role of Point of Contact due to a ''furlough'' at work but that can always change.

I served previously as the Head Writer at [[http://erielookingproductions.info|Erie Looking Productions]] and present ''[[http://ohio.ubuntu-us.org/burningcircle|The Burning Circle]]'', the podcast of [[OhioTeam|Ubuntu Ohio]]. The podcast had over one hundred episodes since launch. Outside the Ubuntu realm I presented for six years starting in December 2007 ''[[http://www.lisnews.org/podcast|LISTen: An LISNews.org Podcast]]'' which dealt with more general issues in the realm of library and information science. '''Due to the harsh terms of employment I am currently operating under, both podcasts are halted.'''

I now have a general purpose AMD64-based laptop which utilizes [[Xubuntu]] 14.04. My Beagle``Board-xM functions as a general purpose desktop running Debian Testing on armhf except that it lacks functioning audio capability. There is a Raspberry Pi serving as a general purpose server except that I have yet to figure out why it will not handle a ZNC bouncer correctly. There is a hand-me-down desktop that previously was in use running [[http://www.vectorlinux.com/|VectorLinux]] Light 7.0 that requires review for potential re-use. As part of '''''systems consolidation''''', the actual hardware will require evaluation as to retention and stripping for parts may occur. Also for review is reducing the footprint of the Raspberry Pi to console access via GPIO pins as a parasite unit instead of regular video output as well as eliminating the keyboard/mouse pair that would go along with that.

An Arudino was purchased by a benefactor. I want to build an NTP receiver for [[http://www.nist.gov/pml/div688/grp40/wwv.cfm|WWV/WWVH]] signals with it perhaps. Some other project may come to mind, too. With the Ethernet shield on-hand, I have my suspicions that [[http://contiki-os.org/|Contiki]] will be in the mix soon. Potential usage is subject to review.

Materiel donations via [[http://amzn.com/w/35SWMCWPMXDJE|this configured Amazon wishlist]] are graciously accepted in this time of cutbacks and continuing equipment failures. Anything received is gratefully appreciated with a cheerful heart in uncertain economic times.

I have been [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership|an Ubuntu Member]] since March 15, 2012.
I am called many things. Lately people call me "professor" as I seem to wind up in classrooms teaching about computer and information systems. You’ll need to make your own decision as to what/who I am.
