[listserv at kalamazoolinux.org]

The SWMITI has been established to foster acceptance of open source
software, particularly the Linuxâ„¢ operating system, in education,
not-for-profit, business, and government organizations in the Southwest
Michigan area. It is the hope of this initiative that we will become the
place for educators, businesses, and entities that seek information,
education, and collaboration with others that have a desire to increase
the productivity and security of their computing environment. The
mission of SWMITI is to stimulate economic development through learning,
collaboration, and implementation of open source projects. 

Our presenter:

Todd Pillars, founder of Terrabytes Data Storage Solutions and Modublox
Computer Equipment, has over 8 years of experience in Information
Technology as both CIO and CTO. His focus has been mainly in Linux
Reseach and Development, exploring a variety of open source software
projects and verifying OS hardware compatibility. Current projects
include organizing a laboratory setting for Educators, SMB's, and NFP's
to assess Linux deployment. Todd is a native of S.W. Michigan and makes
his home in Kalamazoo.
