It is used to enable freely available software to be configured and built easily on supported platforms. Jan Schaumann works as a System Administrator in the Department of Computer Science at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, NJ, USA, where he manages a large, almost homogenous NetBSD environment in an academic environment; runs clustered High Performance Computing Facilities based on NetBSD; ports and maintains NetBSD pkgsrc tools and packages on non-NetBSD platforms such as IRIX and Linux; teaches classes in UNIX programming and System Administration. (Other activities he enjoys that he unfortunately does not get paid for usually involve a board often in combination with some form of H20.) Jan holds a BS and MS in Computer Science and joined the NetBSD Project as a developer in January of 2002. Within the NetBSD Project, he is a member of the Communication Executive Committee, leads the www team and -- after having ported the pkgsrc tools to IRIX -- finds himself maintaining the infrastructure for this platform as well as numerous packages. Trying to make him move out of NYC, where he lives together with his wife, would be a futile endeavor. Jan can be reached at jschauma -at- netmeister -dot- org.

He maintains many of the applications which run on this peculiar platform and will provide some insight to the inquisitive as to what this combo can do. Mickey has contributed heavily to the CARP project which has become such a success. It is hard to find some code which Michael has not at least influenced in OpenBSD. He seems to be dextrous on any hardware platform and is equally well versed in PCI as he is SCSI. Mickey is readily available on the message lists and is always happy to help impart some of his vast networking knowledge to beggars and sysadmins with a smile (;
