Hi,
As the new maintainers of Cobbler, we wanted to take a moment and introduce ourselves. All of us are very excited to be joining the Cobbler community although somewhat nervous as well.
Our immediate goal with Cobbler is to pick some of the simpler bugs and features and release Cobbler 2.0.2 in the late November time-frame. After that we'll start looking into the larger features and creating our own road-map.
We know that Michael has been excellent about providing user support and trouble-shooting. Please realize that those are very big shoes for us to fill. We'll get there eventually, but it will take awhile for us to get to know the code-base.
And now, a little about us:
Alex has been working for Red Hat for five years in the IT department. His day to day work revolves around maintenance and development of the web applications running on www.redhat.com. He is primarily a Java developer, but has been using Python for about a year when writing various scripts and cron jobs.
John has been working for Red Hat for two years, as a System Administrator and more recently as a Software Engineer in the IT department. He is the author of the BIND DNS management code in Cobbler as well as the perpetually unfinished network object code. He is also a contributor to Func and maintains several packages in Fedora.
Scott has been with for Red Hat for 2 years and works as a System Administrator as well. Scott is getting married and going on his honeymoon this coming week, but after that he'll be back and ready to cut some code.
Devan has been with Red Hat for three years on the Spacewalk/Satellite team. He's primarily a Java/Python programmer, author of a handful of small open source projects (see http://rm-rf.ca), a Fedora package maintainer, and a Cobbler user since 2008. ------------ Regards,
John Eckersberg Devan Goodwin Scott Henson Alex Wood
