Ian Gallagher's Email

I'm always eager to discover new ways to work efficiently and solve problems, and I have a strong interest in free open source software/operating systems and community involvement. I've been personally using Linux/*BSD on my own workstations and servers since around 2000. I enjoy making open source software and operating systems work for businesses to provide network support and services. I'm highly motivated when it comes to overseeing new challenges and coming up with solutions for them, and excel at quickly learning new things as I'm presented with the need or desire to do so. A great interest of mine is that of technology which integrates itself in to everyone's lifestyle, and as people become more and more dependent upon that technology the security concerns regarding it become more interesting and more potentially devastating. This is an area that I would like to be involved in and research more.
