Work Experience:

Prior to 1996 Mr. Donnelley did computer research (mostly computer security, networking, and operating systems, e.g. see: http://www.webstart.com/jed/Publications.html

) and group/project leading (e.g. leading a 10-12 person team in the development, installation, and support of a network operating system for a community of 3,000+ scientific users).

3. 2002-July 2008 at Berkeley Lab’s Oakland site as the senior member of a two person “Server Team” providing system administration for some 50+ servers including a little over half Linux (almost all CentOS and Redhat), a little under half FreeBSD with a few Solaris systems still in use.

During this time Mr. Donnelley made numerous presentation (most recently in August 2007 at the Usenix Security conference in Boston), taught occasional classes such as on SSH applications, and served as a conference proceedings chair (SC2000).
