Self Introduction: Garry Williams

[Garry T. Williams]

Greetings,

I'm Garry Williams and I recently retired from a software development
job and now want to spend more time contributing to Fedora.

My developer experience started in the late sixties with IBM S/370
Assembler.  I had various jobs programming and software support of IBM
MVT and MVS operating systems, mostly with Amdahl Corporation.  After
that I started working with Unix and Solaris 2.6 in the late nineties.
My first Linux experience was Red Hat Linux 5.2 (if I remember
correctly :-).  Later I used Mandrake, later still Mandriva after that
and came to Fedora with Fedora Core 5.  I've used Fedora ever since
for my personal machines.  My last job (Comcast) involved development
of Web-based services and applications that deployed on Debian
machines in various company data centers around the US.

I have not contributed much aside from regular bug reports and a few
PRs here and there over the years.  In my spare time, I am an avid
bridge player.  That brings me to a simple package I have prepared,
deal - a Bridge Hand Generator.  My review request is:

Dear Garry,

Welcome to Fedora! The Bridge Hand Generator looks really
interesting. I've been meaning to learn Bridge; now I'll be able to
have computer-assistance for at least the dealing aspect!

Best wishes,

Sebastian

Thank you for the warm welcome, Sebastian.  You will never regret
learning the game of bridge.  I encourage you to give it a try.
