Tri ang u lus

Annie Dunn Watson's endorsement of Triangulus (formerly Green Mountain Linux) taken verbatim from her letter to us on August 14th, 2006:

When we approached Joe Golden at Green Mountain Linux and told him what we wanted to do with our website, he said, “If I can help you guys, I can help anybody!” Far from being insulted, we were, in fact, relieved. I had only been working on websites for about 7 months, and as would-be editor of the revised and updated Vermont Peak Oil Network site, I had to be brought up to speed fairly quickly. The software I had been using to design the original site was more like word processing; drupal technology was a whole new ball of wax (and a lot of other stuff I don’t usually keep in the kitchen).

Triangulus brings the power of Linux and Open Source to Vermont. We enjoy building on the work of thousands of others around the globe to create solutions for our clients. We enjoy collaboration and teamwork in the Open Source spirit.

Collaboration
We enjoy working together with clients and sharing ideas. We have found that often a client is unaware of options open to them or how easily we can make some things happen. We know that it's our job to teach you how to use the tools we provide. See a client endorsement here in this regard.

Joe Golden created Green Mountain Linux, the precursor to Triangulus, in the fall of 2004 after leaving a Math Teaching position at The Stevens School of Peacham, a small middle school. Mr. G., as he was known to the students, greatly enjoyed teaching and exposed his students to lots of fun ideas in the world of math and computers.

Joe is LPI Debian Certified and has a BS in Math and Computer Science from the University of New Hampshire. He worked as a global network monitor for Faxsav in Edison, NJ in 2000. At Faxsav he taught himself perl and wrote intelligent network monitoring and analysis tools to keep track of a global network of 50 machines in 20 countries. At The Stevens School Joe set up a harmonious networked system for the school that integrated student Linux workstations with printers and teacher's windows and mac machines.
