About Me

Hal Rottenberg is an Admin Frameworks MVP living in Woodstock, Georgia. He is well-known  in sysadmin circles for co-hosting the PowerScripting Podcast and heading up the PowerShellCommunity.org website. He is also currently writing a book titled “Managing VMware
Infrastructure with PowerShell: TFM ” to be published by SAPIEN Press in 2009.

Previous to his career as a PowerShell guru, Hal was heavily involved in the Jabber / XMPP instant messaging protocol movement as a member of the Jabber Software Foundation (now called the XMPP Standards Foundation). He remains involved in that space, to a lesser extent in his long-running capacity as webmaster for the Psi project, which is an extremely popular (average of 1,500 downloads a day) instant messaging client which works on the XMPP network.

When not being a major geek, Hal likes to coach his boys in soccer, and spend time with his lovely wife of almost twelve years.
