<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">I signed up to join the project 2 weeks ago and shortly thereafter went on vacation before proper introductions were made. Allow me to introduce myself.</span><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
<br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">I am Michael Clarkson and I am currently an instructor for Red Hat and Cloudera, President of a training company, and I have recently filed a new corporation that will specialize in hardening Linux in the enterprise. </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">I am currently working on finishing my last 3 RHCA exams and one more to also lock up my RHCSS. I teach all Red Hat Administration courses below RH300 and also teach Satellite Server, Virtualization, and SELinux. I will be adding the new Server Hardening course the second week of July. </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">I have some development background in BASH, Python, a bit of Java, and XHTML. I can also write in LaTeX and will, for obvious reasons, be adding Docbook to my repertoire. </div>

I felt it best to begin with the docs project as the software is only as good as the end user's ability to use it. Without solid documentation even the most powerful tools are useless. </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Initially I would like to connect with some of the experienced doc project members to ensure I have the team's methods and style down. I am here to learn first, then contribute where my skill set can do the most good. </div>
