Binh Nguyen was born, 26 March 1983, Melbourne, Victoria. He studied at St Josephs Marist Brothers
College, North Fitzroy until receiving a scholarship to St Kevin's College, Toorak in 1998.
He is currently a university undergraduate studying computer science and physics at the University of
Melbourne. His main interests in each area are in Operating Systems and Quantum Mechanics respectively.
His background is strongly biased towards science and mathematics. Nonetheless, he does have an
appreciation for the arts, humanities and sport. A reasonably proficient musician (flute), he is currently
pondering whether he should complete his musical studies to obtain a diploma so that he can teach. In high
school, he was a member of the athletics, basketball, football, cricket and swimming squads. He speaks
English predominately but is also able to communicate in Vietnamese and French. When younger he also
possessed the ability to communicate in Chinese and Italian.
Although brought up as a Buddhist and studying at Catholic/Christian schools all his life as well as studying
scripture during his final year of high school he considers himself an atheist.
At this moment in time, he works part−time as a (commercial) researcher/developer on Linux related projects
with his current focus being on software distribution mechanisms.
Two of his technical documents have been incorporated into the Linux Documentation Project ("Linux
Dictionary" and "Linux Filesystem Hierarchy",  www.tldp.org/guides.html). Furthermore, they are being used
as reference books in at least ten universities around the world (University of Southern Queensland
(Australia), Universidad Michoacana (Mexico), Hong Kong Polytechnic University (Hong Kong),
Universidade de Sao Paolo (Brazil), University of Southern California (United States of America), University
of Wales Swansea (United Kingdom), University of Ulster (Ireland), Universität Duisburg−Essen (Germany),
Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (Spain), Insituto Superior Miguel Torga (Portugal), and Universiti Sains
Malaysia (Malaysia)). As well as this, he is also a Development Lead and Project Administrator of the
"Computer Dictionary Project"  http://computerdictionary.tsf.org.za/dictionary/index.html which is being
supported by the Shuttleworth Foundation.
He has published articles at linux.com, linmagau.org, desktoplinux.com, newsforge.com, linuxtoday.com,
linux.org, pclinuxonline.com, tuxreports.com, etc.... and has a keen interest in the latest innovations in science
and technology.
