Stephen Beaver (*sbeaver*) is currently Virtualization Evangelist at Tripwire, and a VMware Certified Professional (VCP). Stephen is a co-author of two books on virtualization, Essential VMware ESX Server, and Scripting VMware Power Tools: Automating Virtual Infrastructure Administration. In addition, he is Technical Editor of VMware ESX Server: Advanced Technical Design Guide, and a contributing author to How to cheat at configuring VMware ESX Server. A respected pundit on virtualization technology, Stephen is a frequently-requested speaker at venues such as VMworld, the VMware Virtualization Forum, and the VMware Healthcare Forum.

Stephen is an active community expert in VMware's weekly online show, Community Round Table Panel, and is a moderator and one of the most active participants of the VMware Community forums. In fact, Stephen was recently named a 2009 VMware vExpert, an award given to individuals who have significantly contributed to the community of VMware users and helped spread the word about virtualization over the past year.

Prior to joining Tripwire, Stephen was a systems engineer with one of the largest private hospitals in the United States, Florida Hospital in Orlando, Florida, where he was responsible for the entire virtualization life cycle - from strategic planning to design and test, integration and deployment, to operations management. Prior to Florida Hospital, Stephen served as a Senior Engineer at the law firm Greenberg Traurig where he designed and deployed the firm's virtual infrastructure worldwide. He has also held posts at Lockheed Martin, the State of Nebraska, and The World Bank.

Dear Bloggers & Twitterers at VMworld 2009

Please add yourself if you're coming to VMworld! Personal feeds only, please. Feeds for corporate entities (ie, partners & exhibitors) should get emailed to jtroyer@vmware.com and we'll do those in a separate document.

Log in and click on "Edit Document" in the Actions box on the right
Click on the table where you'd like your name. (Right now it's alphabetical by last name, but I'll clean up any messes by importing this back into a spreadsheet, so feel free just to add yourself to the end.
1. If you are using the Rich Text editor tab, click on one of the buttons "Add Row Before" or "Add Row After" and do your thing.
2. If you are using the Plain Text editor tab, enter your data separated by | characters.
Click "Publish"

And voila. If you do this by Friday I'll try to get you a snazzy blogger badge at the show. See here for more information about blogging at VMworld If you are on Twitter, here's more about our VMworld Tweetup on Monday @ 8pm during the Welcome Reception.

Update: if you are a blogger on this list, and you would like to attend a press/analyst event with Paul Maritz about the Cloud at 10:45am Tuesday, email me jtroyer@vmware.com.
