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

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
