Macworld Conference and Expo Faculty member Michael Bartosh passed away on June 11, 2006. An in-demand consultant and author, Michael was just 28 when he passed away while in Tokyo on a consulting assignment designing the server strategy for an international client. One of our highest rated technical instructors Michael was a brilliant technologist with an enthusiasm to engage everyone in earshot in his technical discussions. Widely respected as *the* guy with regards to Directory Services technical acumen, his book on Panther Server Administration has been regarded as the defacto bible for Mac admins. Michael was an incredibly interesting person to talk to - eclectic, opinionated, and passionate. He was a "gentle" trainer - very patient and eager to share his immense knowledge, yet one of those guys you really needed to be prepared to debate. He was also an avid live music fan with tastes tending to Robert Earl Keen and Johnny Cash.
Our community has lost not only a brilliant mind, but a true personality who added to every classroom he led, and every speaker office he held court in. We are setting up a scholarship in Michael's name for a network engineering student to come to MacIT and hopefully spark their imagination to carry Michael's torch and build the seamless, easy to use networks that enable people to communicate he was so passionate about.
If you are interested in donating to the Michael Bartosh Scholarship fund to help pay for the travel and expenses to bring a University/College age Network Engineering Student to Macworld to attend the MacIT Conference please fill in the form below. We are in the midst of setting up the formalities of the fund and will be in touch as soon as it's in place.
- Paul Kent, VP Macworld Conference & Expo
