In all that time, I've been on 7 major teams working on dozens of wildly different projects. Writing the RHEL 4 SELinux Guide is about as far removed from what I do today as when I used to do on-site open source assessments for professional services. Actually, assessments are much closer to the now-me. Key for me has been keeping myself active and interested in new things. I'm a fair closer, not the best for sure, but I know how to seed and kick-off new ideas, oh yeah! This is one reason the Community Architecture team is a great fit for me. It's the right mix of high-level strategy with a motto of "get in, get it moving, get out of the way" that lets me move my interest and focus <em>within</em> the team instead of hopping to another team. :) > Has it already been that long ago in the past that you joined RHT?

Thanks, yeah, time flies when you are having fun.
