  2. Brian Byrne is a freelance IT manager, a thinker and

    do-er for hire. He started coding around 1971, over time he has written programs in 14+ languages, although Turbo Pascal remains one of his favourites. He’s built data-centres and done most of the technically difficult stuff in IT. Started TOPS-10 in 1979, VAX/VMS and CP/M in 1981, Windows in ~1985, and Linux in 1993. Brian organises Linuxing In London, co-organises London JavaScript Community and Covent Garden Pi Jam. He likes tea and speaking poor Spanish. He prefers community management to being a boring IT Manager and know-all! NB: Brian speaks in paragraphs. Twitter:@BrianLinuxing Email: [email protected]
