I am pleased to announce that I have accepted a position with the
OASIS[1] standards body in Billerica, MA. If you are unfamiliar with
OASIS, they are a not-for-profit global consortium that drives the
development, convergence and adoption of e-business standards. For
example, the OpenDocument format adopted recently by the Massachusetts
Government[2] is an OASIS standard.
OASIS uses FOSS[3] almost exclusively in it's infrastructure to
provide services to it's member technical committees. I will be
working as a systems administrator and developer, with the mission to
ensure that those services are world-class. I am excited about the
opportunity to bring even more Linux solutions to the table in order
to support their excellent work.
