<h1>Gregory M. Kurtzer</h1>
<h2>Background</h2>
<p>
Over my 20+ year career I have built a reputation as an industry leader,
creating new trends and being results focused while representing the best
interests of both the organization and those of my teams. In addition to my
professional career I also have created, founded and built several large
open source projects and communities in the open source realm with install
counts in the millions of users. These projects include CentOS Linux, Caos
Linux, Perceus, Warewulf and most recently Singularity. My core values
include honesty, ethics, and integrity; Standards in which I hold both
myself and my colleagues to.
My career started in the mid-1990's with a degree in biochemistry and a
strong passion for open source software and Linux. Coupling these
displinces landed me squarely in High Performance Computing (HPC) where I've
spent well over two decades working with scientists and researchers to solve
some of the hardest and biggest computational problems ever.
</p>
<p>
Specialties: Linux (environment, services and deep system internals), open
source, HPC, clustering, MPI, provisioning, scalability, system
administration, architecture, automation, development (Perl, C, SQL, PHP,
HTML, etc.), recruiting, team leadership, project leadership, management and
public speaking.
While in this role I also created several widely utilized open source
projects that even furthered my ability to help support scientific
innovation.
</p>

<h2>Professional</h2>
<p>
I am the CEO of Ctrl IQ, Inc. and I'm hiring! Let me know if you are
interested and have a background in operating systems, containers, HPC,
and/or Kubernetes.
In 2017 I left the DOE to further enable both researchers as well as
enterprise organizations and I have now founded and led two companies
as CEO, Sylabs and now CIQ.

<h2>Open Source Projects</h2>

<h3>OpenELA</h3>
<p>
I have taken part of a variety of open source projects over the years, and
below are the ones I have had the honor of creating and leading and being
part of.
OpenELA is a non-profit trade association including CIQ, Oracle, and SuSE. The
goal is to ensure the longevity and continunity of Enterpise Linux such that
downstream derivitives can always provide a stable community based solution.

<h3>Singularity</h3>
<p>
Containers have taken the tech world by storm, and while they may be a
fantastic alternative to virtual machines (when the hardware abstraction is
not necessary), they are not a great fit for application portability. Until
now....

<h3>Singularity / Apptainer</h3>
<p>
Singularity combines software packaging models (such as RPM) with
minimalistic containers to create very lightweight application bundles which
can be simply executed and contained completely within their environment or
be used to interact directly with the host file systems at native speeds.
In 2015-2016, containers were all the rage and thety took the industry by storm.
Unfortunately, containers were not well supported in HPC environments for a variety
of reasons. I set out to solve this problem and created Singularity. Within 6-9
months from the initial release, Singularity was being used across the entire
computing industry because it solved such a massive pain point.
</p>
<p>
A Singularity application bundle can be as simple as containing a single
binary application or as complicated as containing an entire workflow and
is as flexible as you will need.
In 2021 I moved Singularity into the Linux Foundation and per their request, the
project was renamed to Apptainer.

<h3>Warewulf</h3>
<p>
Warewulf is a scalable systems management suite originally developed to manage
large high-performance Linux clusters. Focused on general scalable systems
management, it includes a framework for system configuration, management,
provisioning/installation, monitoring, event notification, and more via a
modular plugin architecture. Install the components and features you need or
leverage the existing system configurations stored within Warewulf to create
custom solutions to meet your particular needs.

After founding the project I led it until 2005 and I was responsible for
all of it's initial leadership, management, public outreach and partnerships
during that period. Due to legal, political, and severely less then excellent
people, I was forced to relinquish leadership of the project to a party in
people, I was forced to relinquish leadership of the project to someone in
the UK (where it stayed until the core developers were able to regain control
of the project). There <i>might be</i> some very entertaining stories to be
shared over dinner and drinks among friends...

Now the project is one of the most utilized Linux distributions for servers
and is run by Red Hat.
Before Red Hat killed off the project, CentOS was one of the most utilized
enterprise focused operating systems used across the ecosystem.
