Greetings, everyone!<BR>
<BR>
I have been looking for a way to help the FOSS community, and during the Boston GNU/Linux Fest it was recommended that I visit the Fedora table. I'm looking for a structured group to join and do something useful for the community, and I was told that Fedora has the structure and organization that I seek.<BR>
<BR>
Anyhow, I have been a Debian user for years, am a FOSS advocate (read "zealot" there), and am more than willing to focus on Fedora if I can be useful here, instead. I did install it on my laptop, and have been using it for a week.<BR>
<BR>
I have a Jack-of-All-Trades background in IT, so I'm not a master of any subject, so I am guessing that I would be able to serve the community better in the Ambassador or Marketing areas, but it is naturally too early to tell. I have joined the Fedora site (username "uplink"), have subscribed to a few mailing lists, and am going to start digging in, using the "Explore the Fedora Project" page as a guide.<BR>
<BR>
I'm from Western Massachusetts, and I don't know of a lot of FOSS activity out here, but I haven't spent too much time looking. Maybe that will change in the future!<BR>
<BR>
I hope to be able to contribute something to the project.<BR>
<BR>
Take care.<BR>
