Welcome to my user page

By career I am a software engineer, project manager and Open Source advocate. I was a developer at Digital Equipment in the 1980s, became a Linux user/developer since it's first release on USENET by Linus Torvalds, and was eventually employed as a High Availability Linux developer at Red Hat (for further information see http://KeithBarrett.com ). For the past few years I've been working for The Walt Disney Company, where I've had the privilege of meeting many interesting people. Being part of all these companies while computer history was being made means that I actually lived first hand what some people debate over in articles, so these are informational areas I will try to help keep accurate and provide citations.

Outside of work I grew up on 60s and 70s television, was the original author of "The Prisoner" TV show USENET FAQ and major contributor to the "Mystery Science Theater 3000" FAQ. I also owned two Caterham Seven automobiles (partically because of my fandom for "the Prisoner") and helped create the USA owners forum for that vehicle. These are all areas I have an unhealthy wealth of knowledge about and will help wiki. I was also a regular visitor to Walt Disney World's Adventurers Club and will be helping support that article.

I've been a minor contributor to Wikipedia since 2006.
