Meeting Agenda Item: Introduction Jason Shive

[Jason Shive]

Sup peoples,

I look forward to meeting you in #fedora-admin sometime and hope you

I shouldn't have a problem making the meeting. I was listening in on one the
other day just to see how they go.

In the interim, have you had a chance to identify a ticket you would

I'm not too familiar with the way you all work and your ticketing system
yet. That'll all before more clear as I get more exposure, if there's need
for me in the group. Looks like quite a bit of backlog, I'd probably spend
my first few weeks or more attempting to clean up what I can, hopefully not
all the cases have gone cold! Looks like there's some things I could run
with, someone would require a short ramp up though, nothing major.

Cool I think there is a ticket about how we might leverage the cloud

I'm down with the idea of cloud computing, specifically platform as a
service and infrastructure as a service. I admit I don't know a whole lot
else about the actual applications running 'cloud services' (condor,
cloudforms, etc) but I got a lot of use out of the Virtualization part of
the Cloud Power Training at the last Red Hat summit. It was good times. I
think for certain uses in certain places the cloud could be a great tool.
I'm currently working on a platform as a service offering for the test lab
at the office. It would be great to just throw down some template images and
let customers spin up instances to test their software without needing to go
through all the hoops we currently do.

Sweet! I know our development lead (abadger1999) and the development

I am no Coding Samurai. I'm at best a citizen soldier right now, but I love
to dig through code and make stuff work like I need/want it too. I'm sadly
not pro status on any language, but I can do needful when needful is needed.
I'll gladly do some documentation, let me know.
