Hi Joe,
Xen would definitely be an interesting topic for discussion,
especially as how it's applicable to educational environments. We (Red
Hat) try and make ourselves as available as possible for LUG meetings,
guest lectures, conferences, etc -- if there is something you guys would
like to know about, just chirp up. It's an open source community, so
we tend to give back to the hand that feeds us ;)
How big is the LUG at UMD? What would you guys like hearing about?
Also, just because I'm employed by Red Hat doesn't mean that topics need
to be narrowed to just RHEL.

Shawn,
Pleased to meet you. I for one would love to hear more about
virtualizing through Xen! I imagine with your involvement at RH,
there are plenty of presentations and/or workshops you could be
involved with that would be of value.

Subject: [UM-LINUX] Hello
Hey Guys,
I work for Red Hat as a Solutions Architect. That's really just a
fancy title for someone that comes into customer meetings and shows
them how to use Linux. I found you guys be googling "linux LUGs."
I wanted to reach out to you guys to introduce myself, and offer a
connection point into Red Hat. My role within Red Hat is within the
Federal teams; it's my job to work with government Agencies on Open
Source projects, gearing things towards the usage of RHEL. I've
previously created the standard RHEL4 load now used at the National
Security Agency, as well as partnered with IBM virtualizing RHEL on
super computers.
I noticed in the archives that you guys put out a call for
presentations in October. Is there anything that you guys would be
interested in hearing about? If interested, some topics I could
offer up:
* RHEL Usage within the Government. How & why NSA chose Red Hat.
* Securing Top Secret information through SELinux and RHEL
* Implementing Global Cluster Solutions
* Virtualizing through Xen
* ...... whatever you want. Shout out some ideas!
Just for the record, I'm not a salesman -- any presentations would
be strictly technical. I just wanted to reach out to the community
and see if there is any interest.
Regards,
Shawn
