Subject: [arbcom-l] Introduction
------------------------
From: Jonathan Clemens <clem4609@pacificu.edu>
Date: Fri, Dec 17, 2010 at 17:22
To: arbcom-l@lists.wikimedia.org
All,
This email should serve two purposes: first, to make sure I changed my email address correctly (more on that in a bit), and secondly to provide a bit of an introduction and brief CV on myself.
While I tend to have all my email sent to jclemens@jclemens.org, that's a domain-name-sans-mailserver ever since every ISP started blocking tcp/25 inbound, so I use one of my other two email addresses (school and personal ISP) as outgoing. So, I guess I need to use a mail address where incoming and outgoing match.
I'm Jonathan Clemens. Up until June, I was employed by Intel Corporation, where I had been an information security practitioner (professional staff or first-line manager) since 1999. Previously, I'd worked full-time IT jobs for World Vision (2 years) and Unisys (3 years). I'm 39 at the moment, and currently in graduate school to become a Physician Assistant. The differences between that and medical school are of interest only to those within the field. I'm leaving the IT realm for medicine for a number of reasons; ask offline if you care.
I currently work as a volunteer EMT/Firefighter here in Oregon while going to school, but I've lived most of my adult life in Washington state, though born and raised in Alaska. In addition to my undergraduate degree in computer information systems, I have an M.Div. from Pepperdine. I've been married 15 years, and my wife and I have three kids, the older two of whom are in Boy Scouts.
I've been on the 'net since it was BITNET (in 1987) and ARPAnet (in 1988), and am fully conversant in Windows, Mac, and Linux, in addition to a bunch of oddball operating systems that no one actually uses anymore.
I hope my eclectic background brings something unique to the committee for this coming year.
Jonathan

The e-mail came through. Does that mean the changes worked?
You seem to be moving from north to south along the US West Coast.
California next? :-)
The nice thing about running through background stuff like this (not
that anyone is obliged to do this at all) is that it does give those
on the committee an idea of the diversity in geographical,
professional and personal backgrounds. For comparison, some of what
I've divulged about my background on this mailing list (though I don't
give my name on-wiki) is the following:
Name: Christopher Kreuzer
Age: 33 (born 1977)
Location: Twickenham, London, UK
Education: Undergraduate sciences degree 1995-1999 (Chemistry in final
two years)
Employment: Writing, keywording and cataloging (science photography),
2000-present
Interests: Chess, Tolkien, Science, History
Jonathan talked about eclectic backgrounds. Looking back on the past
two years, I'm not sure how much my background actually helped when it
came to arbitration. Certainly from what was said on the election
pages it looks like the new committee will have a fairly diverse
background, and hopefully that will help, though the most important
thing seems to be people willing to do things and/or organise their
time effectively to do what they are best suited to doing. Well, that
and a flair for dispute resolution, of course.

Well, I'm Risker, My real-world name is Anne Clin, but I do not use it on-wiki and request that you not do so either. I respond to either Risker or Anne on the mailing lists.
This is a photo of me taken by Sage Ross at the NYC Wikiconference in 2009.
I work in health care administration and have a rather enormous portfolio, but it has given me lots of life experience that I've put to good use. (Dealing with difficult people, simplifying messages, getting along with people one doesn't actually like, etc...)
Right now I'm not quite myself; I had an emergency appendectomy on Wednesday night, and am just finding my feet. Luckily my advance planning to get all the new arbs up and running on the various lists and the arbwiki meant I just had to hit "send" a lot of times.
Best,
Risker/Anne

Did you ever know a software guy called Steven McGeady, who has a wikipedia biography? I don't think you overlapped much, and Intel's a big place, but I'll be curious if I don't ask.

Nope, at the time he left Intel, I wasn't anyone important. I knew people who knew him, but my career hadn't really taken off until after he left.

Real name is Helen Clipsom - rather people didn't throw the surname around, as it's a bit unusual, but feel free to google me. I turn up taking parti in boring local government discussions about new technology etc.

My bio's pretty boring I'm afraid (that's what comes of letting
somebody else do it): http://www.dotconcepts.net/users/michelle-kinney
Additionally, I'm 34 with 4 kids, 2 dogs (if the little one really
counts as a dog), a hamster and a herd of cats (I work with animal
rescue). When I'm not doing artisty stuff, I run a web development
business and in my spare time help out with a variety of charities.
Most of my contact info in on Wiki (along with a few more personal
details), while my phone and usual hours are on the Arb wiki. I'm
notoriously horrible at remembering to set my status on IMs and IRC,
so please don't get offended if I don't answer - I'm not ignoring you,
I'm probably asleep

Too lazy to write a profile these days. Don't keep a Facebook account either, glad I didn't since I saw my colleague getting sacked for a related matter, after someone sought revenge. (This happens more often to ArbCom than you think!)

I'm from the General Toronto Area and work at a financial institution. Before that I sold IT security products.
I used to run a BBS back in the early 90s. When I got onto the Internet (back when dialup charged by the hour), I spent an awful lot of time on a MUD called Realms of Despair (which lead to some hefty connection fees). I had a fairly lengthy addiction to World of Warcraft as well. And then came Wikipedia...
I'm an avid video gamer, and writing/editing articles on video games is what drew me into Wikipedia (unfortunately, I don't do much of that anymore).
I've got a three-year-old boy that keeps me on my toes. I maintain a blog at http://xenocidic.com, but I've not written anything there in a while (and it's really mostly only of interest to video gamers, and more specifically, Xbox 360).
I'm on vacation until the 29th, so won't really be contributing much in the way of discussion, but I am keeping on top of all the emails that are going out over the list so I can hit the ground running when I'm back to work.
Looking forward to working with you guys.
Have a safe and happy holidays =)
