Many of you will find this hard to believe, but by participating has
progressed my career to where it is today.

When I first joined OpenNIC I was a helpdesk monkey wanting to be a
sysadmin with no formal education or training. By running a T2 and later
down the track a T1 taught me heaps about DNS and linux in depth.

Later in the picutre I started to be way more involved in OpenNIC's
sysadmin team and administration duties which also assisted me in my
career. I'm now a professional linux systems administrator thanks in a
big way to my involvement in OpenNIC.

My 2 cents.
