All dressed up to go to work on CZ.

I have a Bachelor of Science degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Computer Science and Engineering. My interest in CZ began with the pilot. My vocation includes program management of knowledge management for HP's open source and Linux (OSL) business, and I am interested in seeing CZ evolve into a resource that will enable HP to exploit OSL more effectively. I seek to encourage HP employees both to contribute to CZ and to use CZ as a knowledge resource.

To do

I don't have time to make significant contributions at CZ because HP's role in the transformation of the IT industry as it expands its exploitation of open source technology consumes me day and night. But if I had time, I would probably be working on the following:

• create a list of Islamofascist victims: Daniel Pearl, Nick Berg, Eugene Armstrong, Jack Hensley, etc.
• molecular evolution after studying http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/dave/Behe.html and http://www.world-of-dawkins.com/Catalano/box/behe.htm
• Michael Polanyi http://www.deepsight.org/articles/polanyi.htm
• Resurrection of Jesus Christ -- add Gospel accounts, emphasize 1 Cor 15:12-20
• Classical Education, also Trivium and Dorothy Sayers
• Whittaker Chambers -- relationship to Alger Hiss, Joseph McCarthy, etc.
• June 30
