I'm very excited to announce that OpenxVM.org now has a technical community manager, welcome Scott Lehman. Expect things to heat up on http://openxvm.org fast as Scott starts building the community and moving code out there.
Scott began his computer career in 1982 when he developed material-handling and sample-processing applications for radio carbon labs while earning archeology and business degrees from Southern Methodist University in Dallas. Convinced of the computer's transformative abilities, Scott spent the next 26 years immersed in the IT industry from development to management. Scott spent the early days of his career developing and testing systems in industries as diverse as science, sports marketing, graphics, telecommunications, health care, finance, and merchandising. Never being one to stray too far from academia, Scott earned his MBA in 1990 from the University of Colorado in Boulder where he now makes his home.
Following graduate school, Scott's career focused in the area of application life cycle management and specifically, software configuration management. After a number of years of consulting and developing a winning methodology, Scott founded SCM Labs to provide a complete range of SCM consulting, training, and product solutions to enterprise and commercial clients nation wide. Scott's unique contribution to the field of SCM, which formed the basis of SCM Labs' consulting and product solutions, is a comprehensive release-based SCM methodology that incorporates Version Control, Build Control, Change Control, and Dependency Control into a business process encompassing people, process, and technology. Scott has spoken at numerous events and national conventions about SCM and has published several papers on the subject. Most recently, Scott used his accumulated IT experience to manage the turnaround of a large software development shop that found elusive the goal of delivering software projects on-time and on-budget.
Scott is an enthusiast of technology of all kinds: planes, cars, tools, and of course, computers. When not indulging his technology habit, Scott can be found raising his young daughter and black lab, hunting, collecting art, cooking, 4-wheeling, and traveling.
