Intended as a mirroring project for open source software, that's resulted in not only a central primary mirror but a constellation of "micro mirrors" providing a mirror as a service (so to speak) for ISPs and entities who have sufficient excess bandwidth to host a mirror, but no interest in running the mirror themselves. Project hosts a plethora of Linux Distributions, VLC, F-Droid, The Document Foundation, as well as providing expertise for entities looking to bring up the infrastructure needed for an open source project to interface with community mirrors, like mirrors.fcix.net.Extensive knowledge in existing mirror practices and hardware choices and direction. Distributed stats collection from the entire cluster making use of Grafana, InfluxDB, Timescale, CollectD, some custom stats collection, etc. for our own tracking. Providing contact interfacing for certain projects and the mirroring project.

Primarily responsible for the running, advancement, and upkeep of kernel.orgEffectively Fellow Emeritus as of August 2012

Entirely responsible for maintenance and upkeep of servers and services necessary to mirror and allow for the propagation of open source software, including the Linux kernel and Linux distributions. Kernel.org encompassed 5 data centers and between 12 and 30 machines with a combined capability of moving in excess of 4gbps constantly. Also responsible for writing and maintaining custom software, including GeoDNS, boot.kernel.org, gitweb-caching, and a single codebase multi- mediawiki. Maintained relationships with hardware and software vendors, developers and various open source communities. Worked on investigation into new and emerging technologies with potential benefit to kernel.org as well as fostered new open source development through student mentoring via Google Summer of Code participation.

Upstream focused developer and internal developer advocate.* Did early work that eventually lead to the creation of the Tern open source project relating to container dissection and correlating files to packages / licenses (see patent I am included on)* Worked on developer open source contribution statistics for internal quantitative analysis* Acts as a point of contact for the Ansible community into, and out of, VMware to help continue developer relations in both directions* Took on co-maintaining ktest in the Linux Kernel* Continued Python GSoC mentoring on behalf of the Python Software Foundation* Packaging and build support for a variety of Linux kernel tracing utilities, up to and including trace-cruncher* Technical and community resource pertaining to open source licensing for all of VMware* Github expert and shepherd for the 40 some related VMware Github organizations* Internal infrastructure maintainer pertaining to specific developer resources for ongoing internal open source related research, development, and investigation* Research and development with regard to next generation Linux distribution creation and maintenance including build system development, and working with upstream Linux distribution providers for enablement both internally and externally

Open Hardware Technical Evangelist* Worked directly, and primarily, on the Minnowboard project* Early board bring-up support* Board design of add-on boards* Technical documentation relating to the board, add-ons, software, etc* Open Hardware advocate both internally, and externally, pertaining to Intel based blatforms and technologies

Treasurer and board member for the non-profit MinnowBoard.org Foundation focused on educational and low cost maker and professional open source hardware embedded development boards.
