About Me

I am Richard Buckle and I have enjoyed a long association with User Groups dating back to the late 70s. I am particularly passionate about the grass-roots activities of communities and have enjoyed working with regional groups in many countries. I spent 7 years as a Director on the board of ITUG and served as its Chairman for 2 years (2004 - 2005). I have worked in the Tandem / NonStop marketplace for more than two decades, initially as a Tandem Computers employee before it was acquired by Compaq, and then for Infrastructure ISVs supporting the NonStop platform. Before joining Tandem, I had spent the previous two decades in the IBM community as an end-user as well as a vendor. I am currently the Senior Director, Business Development, for GoldenGate Software out of San Francisco. I am active in a number of social networks as well as a frequent visitor of virtual communities. I am also known as RT Writer (for Real Time Writer and taken from the column Real Time View published in the ITUG Connection magazine) - and the name of my avatar in Second Life - so if you bump into me, say Hi!
