Warren now works for Red Hat. He was the founder of the Fedora Project
while at UH. He also started the Mid-Pacific Linux Users Group while in
High School at the Mid-Pacific Institute
http://www.midpac.edu/
MPLUG and LUAU (our original LUG) were merged with HOSEF many years ago.
Warren has continued to maintain the Flash Plugin for Fedora and other
distros
