[FreeGeek] Welcome - intros

[Sean Brookes]

Hello,

FreeGeek Vancouver is a great idea. Unfortunately, I had to find out 
about it through the Portland break-in.  If any good does come out of it 
at least more people are now aware of  the organization. 

My name is Sean Brookes.  I have a degree in Business from SFU and have 
been a professional web programmer for about 9 years 
(ASP/ColdFusion/ASP.Net C#).  A big chunk of that time working on fairly 
big LMS platforms especially with content management specifications.  I 
have been working independently since 2003 and for various reasons I am 
currently in the process of migrating over to Linux and OSS 
development.  My first project is a video editing system on a friends 
old box.  Recently I completed a 10 month video production course and 
can't wait to use it to produce video for the web.  From what I 
understand there are excellent video editing options available on Linux 
and I am excited about the challenge.

It has always been such a shame to see truckloads good computer hardware 
being thrown away when a perfectly good operating system was available.  
Although I don't have much of a background in Linux, it is definitely 
where I am going so hopefully I can lend a hand somewhere.  See you on 
Monday.

Sean
