15 I work at the University of Wisconsin Madison as a sysadmin (of course
16 running hardened) and planning on going to grad school in the next year to
17 start a masters program. I've also daydreamed about using this as a
18 launching point for a research project, but wasn't sure if it was
19 feasible. That'll have to wait for now, but when I'm ready I'll post back
20 and see who's interested in sponsoring me in such efforts. For the
21 meantime, I'll see if I can take a look at bugzilla stuff.
