Jamie Cameron, Webmin

Webmin is an open-source web-based system administration interface for Linux systems. It lets you perform tasks like managing BIND, Apache, Sendmail, Unix users and so on without having to manually edit configuration files in the /etc directory, all through a web browser running locally or connecting to the Linux box over the network. Jamie will give an introduction to Webmin and a demo of its capabilities, talking about how it can be useful for managing a home system or small network server, and then covering some of the work he has been doing with OpenCountry to add a Bacula backup module.

Jamie was born in Australia but is now working for Google in California. He started work on Webmin in 1997 while working in Singapore, as a way to avoid having people pester him for trivial DNS updates, and has been developing it ever since. He is married with 2 children, and currently lives in Santa Clara.
