Hello All,
I wanted to pitch in and help the project in whatever way I could and
wherever you all need me. I am an almost twenty year veteran of Linux,
sysadmin, network "administration" (when we called it that) and now
naturally DevOps. I have been working with RH based distros since YDL
(YelloDog Linux) in 1998, having spent my share of time trying to 'make'
my workflow fit a distro I have settled on Fedora. OpenSuSE Leap is
great, KDE and Gnome are not on the distro, Ubuntu, well, unity - come
on now. Ah, I should metnion that yes when OpenSolaris was a thing I ran
it as my primary OS with VirtualBox for a required windows image.
In any case, I have been around the block from dot com 1.0, to startups,
to 2.0, to serious enterprise level at Apple, Samsung, GAP e-comm, HPE,
among others. My specific focus these days is in data center automation
(Ansible, Puppet, when I have to Chef). Also, I have been tasked with
developing and doing POCs with Docker. I can be used wherever you need
me, hopefully that gives you enough background. Linux, DBs
(RDBMS/NoSQL), web infra (LBs, Caching servers, proxies, etc.), anything
OpenStack.
Thanks - hope the bio was not too much or too little. As a good Linux
guy I'm not exactly fond about wearing my war paint in the open. Much of
that experience came at great personal cost (at times).
Warmest Regards,

Hi Scott! I was closing loops on emails today and noticed it seems like
your email was caught up in the spam filter. It seems like you
subscribed to the list with your fedoraproject.org email alias - if you
use your @gmx.com email, you should be able to send and receive mail to
the list.
Sounds like you have a lot of background and experience working with
Linux. There's plenty of ways for you to get involved and contribute in
the Fedora community, and we'd be happy to help you find a place to get
involved in.
There is a great site called whatcanidoforfedora.org that is an
interactive way for you to find a place that you may be able to
contribute to based on your interests.

Alternatively, if you prefer text, you can also find this wiki page too
as a good reference.

Hopefully this is enough info for you to see what all is out there in
the Fedora community. There are plenty of different sub-projects, from
CommOps to Infrastructure to Packaging to Marketing and beyond to get
involved with. If you'd like some more specific pointers, let us know
what your interests are and we'd be happy to help guide you to the right
place.
Sorry again for the late reply. :)
