About the Speaker
> Marc Spitzer started as a VAX/VMS operator who taught himself some basic scripting
in DCL to help me remember how to do procedures that did not come up enough to actually
remember all the steps, this was in 1990. Since then he has worked with HPUX, Solaris,
Windows, Linux, and the BSDs, FreeBSD being his favorite. He has held a variety of
positions, admin and engineering, where he has been able to introduce BSD into his work
place. He currently works for Columbia University as a Systems Administrator.
He is a founding member of NYCBUG and LispNYC and on the board of UNIGroup.
Most of his career has been building tools to solve operational problems, with extra effort going to the ones that irritated him personally. He takes a great deal of pride in not needing a budget to solve most problems.
