I would like to step back from my duties in the Board, and cede my
post to Stephen Shaw (known as decriptor on IRC).  Stephen has been
very  active in the openSUSE community, and I am sure that he will be
a much better Board member than myself.

Any chance that Stephen will manifest himself here?  Personally, I have
no idea who he is, so an introduction would perhaps be appropriate.

Hi! I'm around! Here is just a quick intro. Please feel free to ask
me questions.

I tend to lurk on several MLs and IRC channels so I might not appear
very involved sometimes. I'm currently employed by Novell to work on
the SLED accessibility team as a build guy. In the past I was on the
XEN virtualization team. I also spend some of my time at work helping
out with the GNOME project within Novell, iFolder, and some other
various project that touch ours such as accerciser, orca, at-spi,
tomboy, tasque, and others. Some of them are a result of team members
being the maintainers.

As for the openSUSE community I've started various projects such as
opensuse-tutorials.net, opensuse-community.com, twitter and identi.ca
accounts, and also creating a few irc channels (initially around
virtualization). I've also participated in helping out at
conferences, meetings, packaging, giving some support in irc, and
trying to spread the openSUSE love to name a few off the top of my
head.

In the local area, I've help start a couple user groups, push for
linux at my local university, and more recently spend a lot of time
into the Utah Open Source Confernce. This will be its 3rd year and is
continuing to grow. Its crazy how fast 3 years comes and goes.


Cheers,
Stephen Shaw
