[Noisebridge-discuss] deep crack announcement .. tax issue/

[Glen Jarvis]

There are, I imagine, great expertise, in cluster administration. I  
administer a 9 node scientific cluster at work. I am also the DBA (my  
origional career) on a cluster with 35 nodes. And, I'm probably not  
the most experienced by far at noisebridge in this field.
