 I am a
computer journalist, primarily for Linux.com
(formerly the Open Source Technology Group), a division of SourceForge
(formly VA Software), where I am a contributing editor. SourceForge
runs a collection of web sites that provide news and services to the
free and open source software communities. Together, the sites receive
over 18 million unique hits per month.I publish mainly on Linux.com, "the enterprise Linux resource," and IT Manager's Journal. Sometimes, my work is linked on Slashdot, although it's run independently of the sites I usually publish on. My record is 5 Slashdotted stories in one month, a record I continually try to improve on. Other places I have published include Datamation, Techwr-l, and in Maximum Linux and The New Internationalist. You can see some comments about my writing on my Kudos and Abuse page. When not committing journalism, I work on other editorial and writing projects, and on designing and teaching live and e-learning courses. In the past, I have been a university English instructor, a technical writer, a product manager, a director of marketing and communications, a developmental editor, and a consultant in communications, marketing, and design. Although I am lucky enough to have enough regular work to earn my living as a full-time writer, I am always looking for interesting new projects.
