== Introduction & Contact ==Well Hello Everyone,
Looking forward to joining in with all of you here at Seneca College in the Open Source Development programs for either the degree or diploma programs. The introductory talk from Chris and David was very inspiring and I'm very much looking forward to linking in with the world wide open source development community. I grew up in sort of a small, but popular town, and really feel I have a connection with a community much larger in scale than that place. The whole world community sounds good to me for now... at least until we as a race extend ourselves further. ''Andrew Grimo'''
I look forward to developingProfessor at School of Computer Studies, contributing and requesting help from all of you. Seneca College

== Background ==My first IT experience was at an MP3 dotEmail: [mailto:andrew.com company where a series of lay-offs in the IT department led me to the position of Jrgrimo@senecac. System Admin. Everything that was needed to learn was done on the job without any previous background. With this job I used Red Hat Linux version 7ca andrew.1 for server administration, but also for my desktop computer at workgrimo@senecac. This was my second OS to learn second to the Mac, which I started using at v7.6 a number of years prior. Unfortunately after further layoffs, three quarters of a year later that job finished, my son was born in Kingston and I moved out of Toronto leaving my IT and music production worlds behindon. ca]
Currently sharpening my IT skills back in Toronto and looking forward to completing OSD600 and Seneca's CPA program to eventually land a job in the Toronto downtown coreIRC: andrewgrimo [irc://irc. I've become a fan of the counter-intuitive nature of open-source development and gain satisfaction from the idea of making money from developing something that will eventually be given away for freemozilla.org/%23Seneca #seneca]

== Contributions to Projects ==My first education was in music recording and production, including audio for video and film. I worked in a few studios, earned a gold record for an album where I was a production assistant. My specialization was in digital audio editing. Simple put, I made a musicians performance in the studio perfect by removing errors and altering/tightening their timing.
