[thomas at redhat.com]

Howdy All -

I need an inside Solutions Architect in Dallas.  My team are all 
technical heavy-hitters who are trained on Red Hat products inside and 
out.  Not one of my team members has less than three endorsements 
towards RHCA certification, and there are several full-fledged RHCAs on 
the team.  All of them started with zero or minimal certification and 
were trained up.

It's a very cool position for F/OSS evangelism.  My guys all spend their 
time teaching customers and potential customers how to carve out costs 
and increase productivity by adopting F/OSS software.
