Short Biography

Malcolm Beattie works in IBM's System z (mainframe) pan-European organisation as Linux Technical Consultant and as program manager for the System z University Program for Europe. He has over 15 years experience with Linux, half of which has been spent with Linux on mainframes.
As part of the university program, he engages with educational institutions across Europe on the subject of "Large Systems Thinking" and enterprise computing with the System z platform.
