== Introduction & Contact ==Well Hello Everyone,
Looking forward to joining in with all of you here at Seneca College in the Open Source Development programs for either the degree or diploma programs. The introductory talk from Chris and David was very inspiring and I'm very much looking forward to linking in with the world wide open source development community. I grew up in sort of a small, but popular town, and really feel I have a connection with a community much larger in scale than that place. The whole world community sounds good to me for now... at least until we as a race extend ourselves further. ''Andrew Grimo'''
I look forward to developingProfessor at School of Computer Studies, contributing and requesting help from all of you. Seneca College

== Background ==
Andrew's first IT experience was going through a series of lay-offs that eventually led him to the position of Jr. System Admin. Everything he needed to learn he learned on the job without any previous background. With this job he acquired the proper skills to be an avid Red Hat Linux admin for version 7.1. This is above his already competent level in the MAC OS environment. Unfortunately because of a series of layoffs, three quarters of a year later he moved out of Toronto leaving his IT world with it.
Currently Andrew is sharpening his IT skills back My first education was in Toronto music recording and looking forward to completing OSD600 production, including audio for video and Seneca's CPA program to eventually land film. I worked in a few studios, earned a gold record for an album where I was a job at Mozillaproduction assistant. My specialization was in digital audio editing. Andrew also seems to be Simple put, I made a fan of musicians performance in the counter-intuitive nature of open-source development studio perfect by removing errors and gains satisfaction from knowing that he is making money from developing something that will eventually be given away for freealtering/tightening their timing.
== Current Project ==My first IT experience was at an MP3 dot com company where a series of lay-offs in the IT department led me to the position of Jr. System Admin. Everything that was needed to learn was done on the job without any previous background. With this job I used Red Hat Linux version 7.1 for server administration across the company, but also for my desktop computer at work. This was my second OS to learn second to the Mac, which I started using at Mac OSv7.6 (prior to Apple's MacOSX freebsd unix system). Years later after supporting small offices in a Windows environment I acquired my A+ certification.Bug report: [https://bugzillaAs a graduate of Seneca's Computer Programming and Analysis Co-op diploma, I am now teaching here and working a full-time job as a mainframe database administrator.mozilla Just like working at the MP3 dot com company, I learned everything needed while on the job as a DBA.org/show_bug Your capacity to continuously learn as a result of this program will be your second most important asset.cgi?id=465257 https://bugzillaThe first that should be emphasized, is your capacity to communicate and work with others, particularly during your co-op placements as these can be incredible opportunities for employers to get to know you.mozilla Your soft skills will catch the attention of potential employers at co-op placements, and then your technical capacity can shine through.org/show_bug Good luck toward you all with your initial jobs in this industry and your continuing success.cgi?id=465257]
