My Introduction

Hello everyone -

My name is David Ashley and I want to contribute to the Fedora Docs Project.

I have been creating and maintaining documentation in DocBook for over 
10 years and I have been using Publican to publish those works for about 
five years. I have a small amount of experience with MediaWiki but that 
was a few years ago. A lot of the documentation I have been a part of is 
available online and I am willing to share the URLs when asked.

I also have the following skills:

- average C/C++ programmer
- average Python programmer
- average HTML and CSS coder (web site maintainer and Apache admin)
- KVM/QEMU admin for 50 VMs on a single server
- maintaining a production system for nightly builds of both docs and 
program RPMs/DEBs on multiple operating systems
- ex-Project Lead for the ooRexx Project (www.oorexx.org)

I have also been using Fedora almost continuously since the first 
release. I also have experience with Red Hat, Suse, CentOS, Ubuntu, 
Linux Mint, and a few other distributions.

Obviously I am looking for a sponsor and something to start work on. I 
am flexible and have a fair amount of time to contribute. Please let me 
know what I need to do to get started.

Thanks,
David Ashley (Fedora user wdashley)
