Welcome to the Open Source corner of Centriq Blogspace. I'm Robert Ritter, and I'll be your localhost. I've had the opportunity to work with and train in open source technologies for 13 years, including FreeBSD, Linux, Samba, Apache, Python and a host of others, and I look forward to discussing some of these things with the Centriq community.

We'll use this space to explore some of the open source solutions that we use and teach at Centriq, and how you can take advantage of them in your own daily work and play. As this blog evolves, I hope to make it a place where you can share your own expertise as well: the open source landscape is a pretty big place, and no one of us can keep up with it all. Together we'll share knowledge, ideas, and maybe even a few laughs, and come to a better understanding of what the Open Source Software movement means to the world of computing.
