Figured that as a new Ambassador, I'd just drop a quick note to
the
list to introduce myself.
I'm a 28 year old systems architect from Jersey City, NJ. Mostly
during my work life I work with very high-end production systems, all
running RHEL. At home, I use Fedora for my desktop, and try to
advocate other people to do it. I'm an RHCE [1] who's actively
working on RHCA.
Welcome to the Fedora Ambassador from another East Coaster.
I attend at least two events every months (NYLUG [2] and the New York
Linux Meetup [3]). There are others that I would get involved with as
I get time and am informed of them. At these events, I try to
advocate Fedora to the extent that I can. I may attempt to put
together a Fedora talk for NYLUG, however, I'm not all that sure of
what they want to hear about (probably new features in F8/9, etc).
Let me know if there is other advocacy that I can do within the NYC
area.
IMHO, the contributions made by Fedorans to upstream projects are
often overlooked. You can inform a Linux-savvy group like a LUG on
howFedora is a great community distro in its own right and how it
helps to improve every distro by upstream contributions.
