Chris Tyler is the Industrial Research Chair Open Source Technology for Emerging Platforms (IRCC-OSTEP) in the Centre for Development of Open Technology (CDOT) at Seneca College. He is a long-term contributor to the Fedora Project and has served two terms on Fedora's board. He is the author of two books, X Power Tools and Fedora Linux: A Complete Guide to Red Hat's Community Distribution (O'Reilly), a founding member of CDOT, and has participated in (and occasionally chaired) the Seneca Free Software and Open Source Symposium (FSOSS) since its inception in 2002. In order to promote the teaching of open source concepts and principles, he founded TeachingOpenSource.org and was one of the original curriculum authors for the Professor's Open Source Summer Experience (POSSE).
Chris' current research focuses on bringing open source software to energy-efficient ARM computers. This work spans the computing spectrum from the Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix, a software environment for the revolutionary $35 Raspberry Pi computer, to software for hyperscale 64-bit ARM systems which will power tomorrow's data centres while consuming a fraction of the space and power of existing technologies.
