Hi,

I heard them announce this week and cringed when the presenter from
Agenda mis-pronounced Linux. I did however find a bio on the IBM
guy.

Adam Jollans:
Adam Jollans is managing the European marketing campaigns for IBM
Software on
Linux. He joined IBM in 1984, and since then has worked in a range of
technical,
sales and marketing roles - most of them associated with PC and small
systems
hardware and software.During his time at IBM he has worked with a
leading UK Bank 
on designing and implementing their distributed branch information
system. He also 
spent two years on assignment to IBM development in the United States
working on 
advanced operating systems. He graduated from the University of
Cambridge, England in 
1980 with a degree in Computer Science, and is a Chartered Engineer and
a Member of 
the British Computer Society. He was co-editor of "OS/2 2.11 Power
Techniques",
published by QUE, and has also authored IBM "Redbooks" and white papers
on PC

Regards,

Mark
