Betreff: [election-officials] Notice of Intend Datum: Mittwoch, 1. Dezember 2010, 09:44:10 Von: Chuck Payne Bis: election-officials@opensuse.org

Hi,

I like to throw my name in as a candidate for board of openSUSE. For the past two years I have been helping out as Ambassador, but I have been a SUSE user since 5.3. I love my work with openSUSE, and I want to do more. I think my experince as System Administrator, End User, Mentor, and Ambassador, plus years of experience would be a big plus to board and to the community.

Sincerely,

Chuck "PUP" Payne

Thanks, Sascha, I would like to add the following. I started out with Linux in 96' as an end, tried of Mac OS, and fearing that it would died. This was before the return of Steve Jobs. Start with Slackware 96 then move to Red Hat and Turbo Linux, then moving to S.u.S.E and never leaving it. I have worked in the IT field as System Administrator since 98. My first job, I was able to get S.u.S.E 6.2 in to replace Red Hat 6.0. Personally I have used it since 5.3 as server. It was until openSUSE 10.2 that I started using as a Desktop replacement at work for daily to daily, replacing Windows XP and Macintosh OS X OS'es. I can be honest, I still use Mac OS for some desktop publishing, but I use my openSUSE desktop for the other 90%. When the call came for people to become Ambassador back in 2008, I jumped at the chance to give back to openSUSE in return for everything it has giving to me. I have been to three linux fest. Give a couple of number of talks to local user group. I have even wrote for a Polish Linux this summer called Linux Identity. I have even done a video for the OSC, which was the best but did put some faces to aliases. I am working on other projects that once are done I will show the community. The other thing I am doing currently for openSUSE is I help with the Facebook page. Trying to post links and events. And I have even set up a twitter account for the openSUSE Ambassador that I hope in the furture and help get out their great work to community and others. I am currently rebuilding the Georgia openSUSE User Group. I am active in ALE. And love to go to Linux Fest and help spread the word about openSUSE and open source software to the masses. My daily-to-daily life, I am System Administrator for a start company called Vocalocity that does a lot with SIP/Telecommunications in their NOC team. Before that I worked at Travel Channel Media. I am married. I am very much international. I know that a lot of people don' t think that of American. But I have lived in Japan for three and half years and taught English Communications. My wife is Turkish. I do travel from here to there no as much as I would like. I have a six year son that know I love Linux and every time he see a penguin points out that, "There that software you work with Daddy". I also have a black cat that loves to sit in my lap while I am computer working. I am a bit old I think than most, I am 43 but with that I bring a lot of experience to the table, one not being a developer, but as a end user, a system administrator. Which covers both every day-to-day users and business. -- ----------------------------------------- Discover it! Enjoy it!
