I’ve been doing a lot more public speaking lately and it seems that I will continue to be doing so in the future. I really enjoy public speaking which is funny considering I used to hate it when I was in school.
I used to only be an attendee at conferences, but I’ve found it to be a lot more fun actually being a participant! My travel budget for conferences is limited so I generally only go to conferences that are on the west coast. However if you’re interested in sponsoring me for a conference please let me know!
Here’s a list of talks I have coming up and a few that I have done recently.

Courses
Additionally, I co-taught CS312 Linux System Administration in the Spring of 2009 at Oregon State University with Jeff Sheltren. The entire course content (lectures, homework, exams) are available for download under a Creative Commons license. We aren’t teaching it in the 2010 school year but hoping to do it again sometime in the future.
