Hello,<div><br></div><div>I'm Jonathan Drouillard, 24 years old and from Corsicana, TX. I'm about to transfer to Baylor University for a degree in bioinformatics. I studied computer science for two years, but found a lack of challenges in most of the courses. Programming has been my favorite way to procrastinate since I was 13 years old. I have 'experience' in C, Objective C, C++, Java, Perl, and minor acquaintance with most programming languages. An extensive portfolio of applications should follow that sentence; but, for the most part, I have failed at transitioning from development to a release. I host 10 websites on a Linode running Ubuntu. I run Fedora in a virtual machine on my windows box.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I believe writing documentation or tutorials will develop the skills necessary to bring my own ideas into release. I have no prior background writing documentation except for a technical writing class. I am not a guru of the *nix world, but I have always been able to find my way around thanks t man pages, tutorials and wikis.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Armed with a tablet, pencil, and paper it is my turn to give back to the community. I was sent here from Ycombinator with the promise of an excellent community. My question is: where do I go from here? I'm already in the IRC chat. How do I find what needs to be documented, could use tutorials, or anything else? I'm also open to writing docs and tutorials non-Fedora projects (ie github) that need help, making sites dedicated to teaching how to use software or open source programs, or any other ideas you have for informing users.</div>
