Hi.

Hi!

I'm Will Irace, AKA volunteer number #57415. I first volunteered here in October 2007: I'm a reasonably advanced and well rounded geek, but a total FG newbie.

Life outside Free Geek

• My blog: www.irace.net
• A web forum I run: www.differhonestly.com
• A wiki I launched: www.jfwiki.org
• My MAME box
• My day job is at IBM: I'm a pre-sales engineer in the IT security profession.

Stuff I know how to do that might be useful

• Teach
• Write
• Learn
• Take apart stuff and put it back together: Macs, PC's, servers, laptops, whatever.
• Build and run blogs, wikis, forums
• Set up and run linux servers and desktops (Windows too but who cares?)
• Build, run and secure networks
• Hardware and software troubleshooting

Contact me

• If you have a wiki account here at Free Geek, use my discussion page or send me an e-mail.
• Otherwise, my e-mail address is available from my blog's about page.

My goals as a Free Geek volunteer

1. First things first
   • Learn the culture
   • Learn the processes by volunteering all over
   • Contribute to the wiki
2. See which of my wacky ideas have merit; help implement the good ones
3. Teach
   • Linux
   • Welcome to Free Geek
   • Wiki editing basics and advanced tricks
   • Whatever else
4. Conduct tours, make things better, attend meetings &c.

My Free Geek experience so far

• Receiving
• Motherboard Recycling
• System Evaluation 1 and 2
• "Tested out" of Linux CLI
