Hello All,
I wanted to pitch in and help the project in whatever way I could and wherever you all need me.

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, -Scott D. Meguro-ku, Tokyo, Japan
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. :)

Hello Justin,
Thank you for getting back to me and with an explanation as to why my email was "Rejected." I have to say that was a blow to my ego. ;) But seriously I am anxious to help out in whatever way I can. I will review the information you sent and reach out to the right people. Thank you again, and I look forward to working with the project members.
Warmest Regards, -Scott D.
No worries, Scott, glad we got things worked out. If you can, try to stop by our meetings on Tuesdays, 16:00 UTC. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out here. Thanks!
