that, he was in the VMS Engineering organization at Digital
Equipment Corporation. In the late 1980s, Jeff spent 2½ years at
CERN as part of the CERN/Digital Joint Project. In 2008, he
returned to CERN to spent 10 weeks working with CERN/openlab.
Since that time, he has returned to CERN multiple times to teach
