Linux and Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) in Philadelphia. In 1993,
he recognized the emerging value of the Linux operating system. Through
his leadership position in the Philadelphia Area Computer Society (PACS),
he began introducing Linux to organizations in the Greater Philadelphia
region. At PACS, he organized monthly presentations on Linux and FOSS
and wrote 29 columns in the organization's print periodical, The
Databus. He then founded and helped build Philadelphia's premiere
Linux user group, the Philadelphia area Linux User Group (PLUG), where
he continues to facilitate its first Wednesday meetings. After helping
to establish a community and culture for Linux and FOSS in Philadelphia,
CJ started building his first company, LinuxForce, to be the ``go-to''
firm for organizations wanting to realize the promise and power of Linux.
LinuxForce is a leading technology services provider
specializing in the development, implementation, management and support
of Linux-based systems, with a particular expertise in Debian GNU/Linux.
LinuxForce provides remote Linux systems management services to clients
including The Franklin Institute Science Museum, and the Aker Philadelphia Shipyard.
CJ is a member of the Buckminster Fuller Institute, the Synergetics
Collaborative (SNEC), the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), IEEE (Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers), and the
IEEE Technology Management Council. He received his BA in Mathematical
Sciences and Philosophy from Binghamton University in 1989 where he
was a Regents Scholar and has done graduate work at Drexel University.
CJ was named to the Philadelphia Business Journal's 2006 ``40 Under 40''
list as one of the region's most accomplished young professionals.
