<br />
After a [http://www.rossde.com/retired.html career of more than 40 years creating and testing computer software], I retired in 2003. In the meantime, I had headed a small [http://www.oakparkfoundation.org/ charitable foundation] for some 17 years, an unpaid volunteer position from which I retired in 2007. I then sought venues for other volunteer service. <br />
<br />
One venue was Big8-Usenet, where I volunteered to create a list of Internet [[RFCs]] affecting newsgroups for the Wiki. RFCs are "requests for comments", some of which lead to Internet standards. When an opening on the Big8 Management Board then arose in 2009, I then volunteered for election. I have served on the Board since then. <br />
<br />
I have always been active [http://www.rossde.com/index.html#community_service volunteering], and I remain so in venues other than the Big8 Management Board.</div>Deross
