From 2007 - 2012 I edited the English editions (grammar, spelling, and wiki appearance) of [http://ubuntuguide.org Ubuntuguide] and [http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Kubuntuguide Kubuntuguide], with the help of the excellent contributions by the users who added them. In 2012 I merged KubuntuGuide.org / Kubuntuguide.info with UbuntuGuide.org. During the same period I also ran a website called [http://ubuntudoctorsguild.dyndns.org Ubuntu Doctors Guild]. In early 2012 I moved several of my systems to [http://www.debian.org Debian] (with a KDE desktop) while maintaining multiple Kubuntu installations.

As of late 2012 I am only intermittently involved with the maintenance of this website.

I have been interested in distributed networks ("cloud computing") using Debian/Ubuntu/Kubuntu, especially using the Logical Volume Manager, RAID, and datacenter management tools that are useful for small and medium size businesses.

I am also an advocate for open-source (GPL-licensed) software solutions in health care, as a basis for a United States national health care system. I have served on a national standards committee regarding Health Information Technology in the US. A few years ago I created the (K)Ubuntu-derived [http://sourceforge.net/projects/ubuntu-med/ Ubuntu-Med] system (which is no longer maintained in its original form) and have now decided to focus on the [http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/ Debian-Med] toolset instead, incorporating generic server functions into it.

== Background ==
I originally wrote software and software documentation for a large aerospace project and then for several military projects.

I was a UNIX and VMS user in the 1980s and networked two large organizations during the network protocol (TCP/IP) standardization period of the late 80s. I then made a detour to MS Windows for 10 years. Recently I have used Debian/(K)ubuntu over the past several years, on a network of triple boot systems (which includes multiple Windows-based boxes).

My home is wired using LinuxMCE (Media Center Edition) 7.10 running on Kubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), X10 controllers, surveillance cameras and motion detectors, and distributed multimedia.

My medium-large organization (which is healthcare-related) uses Debian/Ubuntu servers with Kolab for groupware, Drupal for collaborative web content, MediaWiki as a wiki, and WorldVistA as an electronic medical record system. We have also used DAViCal as a group calendar server, with Mozilla Thunderbird/Lightning and Sunbird as clients. I have several advanced medical certifications, as well as several other degrees. I regularly collaborate with state and national governmental agencies (in the US) regarding health information technology.

I also regularly contribute to Wikipedia, especially on specialized software topics, including electronic medical records. Most of my philosophy in life comes from [[User:Buckaroo_Banzai|Buckaroo Banzai]]. I currently live in Northern California.

'''Police Chief Lundallah''': He pulled himself across the floor using this wire. How else could he have avoided our radar field? 
'''Inspector Clouseau''': Yes, how else? Hmm. Of course, he would have needed a very slippery floor to do that... 
'''Police Chief Lundallah''': Therefore the wax. 
'''Inspector Clouseau''': The wax? ... AGHH! ''[Clouseau slips on the waxed floor and falls to the ground]'' 
'''Col. Sharky''': Are you all right, Inspector? 
'''Inspector Clouseau''': ''[on his knees]'' Of course I'm alright. I'm... examining the wax. ''[sniffs the wax on the floor]'' Have you taken a sample of this wax? 
'''Police Chief Lundallah''': Wax is wax! 
'''Inspector Clouseau''': See, this is where you are wrong. Wax is NOT just wax. In this case it is a clue. Domestic wax, Belgian Wax, French Wax, English Wax... 
'''Col. Sharky''': Ah, the Inspector is right. Have the wax tested immediately.
