Hello everybody,<div><br></div><div>My name is Ozan Caglayan and I'm from Istanbul/Turkey, age 26.</div><div><br></div><div>I was one of the core developers of the Pardus Linux distribution funded and developed by the Turkish government. I became a part of the project in 2007 and worked as a paid developer until January 2012.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I became the primary maintainer of ~450 source packages namely the Linux kernel, NM/MM stack, udev, *Kit, PulseAudio, ALSA, BlueZ, foomatic/CUPS/Ghostscript/*, sane-backends, a bunch of hardware libraries, ACPI tools, perl/python modules. During this period, I tried to be in contact with upstream as much as possible and contributed to many open source projects like Linux kernel, ALSA, D-Bus, NM, Busybox, KDE, etc.</div>
<div><br></div><div>In 2010, I became the release manager of our corporate edition which was based on KDE 3.5.x and we released it in February 2011.</div><div><br></div><div>Now, I've migrated all my systems to F16 as I think that the Fedora/RedHat developers do really a great job and guide the Linux world with nice moves and innovations like systemd, dracut, /usrmove, automatic printer queue configuration (back in 2008), etc, etc. My main repository to look up when I maintain my packages back in Pardus was always Fedora repositories so it was clear that my second distro would be Fedora.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Long story short, I'm here to help, maintain packages, and contribute as much as possible to Fedora.</div><div><br></div><div>I was really an integration, patch, bugfix, debugging, backporting, scripting guy back in Pardus. I'm fairly good at Python. I pretty suck in GUI design/development. I already prepared some RPM packages that I'll put on review ASAP to get my hands dirty.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Regards</div><div>- <br>-------------------------------------------<br>Ozan Çağlayan<br>
