carlops

Carl (carlops) is a Dutch guy who has lived in the south of Spain for over 4 years. Having originally studied English Language and Literature in a dim past, he quickly converted to the IT business, and went from system administrator to network consultant to corporate network manager. He is currently trying to earn a living as a web developer. In his quest for an easy yet powerful version of Linux he found out about MEPIS in 2004 and was immediately impressed. Since then, he has learned (and is still learning!) a lot and has actively participated in the MEPIS forums to share that knowledge.

EnigmaOne

Allan (EnigmaOne) was transplanted from the paradise state of New Mexico to California many years ago. While he currently resides in Long Beach, he considers the Coachella Valley (the Palm Springs to Mecca/Thermal region) to be the next-best thing to home. His wife, Annie, four children still at home, two 'children' in college and grad school, cat and irritatingly non-conversant fish give him comfort in his time of geographically-induced angst.

He has been dabbling with Linux since the Red Hat Mother's Day release, finding it to be a nice change of pace from the proprietary Unix flavors of the era, as well as a step-up from DR-DOS; and has wandered the vast cross section of Linux communities that have cropped-up since that time. Allan has a broad-spectrum technical background with a major emphasis upon electrical engineering and systems analysis, and a minor emphasis upon programming. He is principally enamored with the vocation of teaching; and can be found pacing the room with a white board marker in his hand, occasionally scrawling numeric epiphanies on the nearest wall or monitor screen--repeating bad puns to himself and chuckling maniacally.

Jon Du Quesne

Jon Du Quesne (jon du quesne) - Jon lives in sunny San Diego, California with his wife, and a very talkative parrot. Jon's early interests were sailing ships and medicine. Ropes, knot work, and seasickness taught him to think in clever ways and be supportive of people in trouble. His first computer was a sliderule and he remembers a time when computers were not "personal" but rather, were only used by governments, universities, and very large companies that had money. He sold some of the first "personal computers" back in the eighties. Jon has been part of the MEPIS community for close to 2 years, but has played with different Linux distributions for almost 10 years and Unix before that. He is a programmer and system administrator by day, and annoys his wife by continuing to work with computers at night. He likes to learn, teach, and help others. When not working with computers he reads classical literature to further confuse his mind.
