First, I apologize for not having read
http://www.fedora.us/wiki/SelfIntroduction
before.
Full legal name:
Rui Miguel Silva Seabra
Country, City:
Portugal, Lisboa
Profession or Student status:
I'm employed as a systems administrator in the major
Portuguese financing institution, handling mostly with
Free Software operating systems.
I'm also an university student and trying to finish my
degree in Computer Sciences.
Company or School:
SIBS, SA --

Universidade do Minho --

Your goals in the Fedora Project:
To help wherever I can. I specifically can't do much QA
since I pretty much need my system to work, and testing
unreliable main packages is a little too risky for me.
I'd like to include my pet project in Fedora, but that'll
have to wait for Savannah to get back up.
Historical qualifications:
What other projects have you worked on in the past?
AbiWord
I have been working for quite some time with the AbiWord
project, specifically maintaining it's rpm spec and
Portuguese localization. In its context, I have contributed
to related projects like libwpd, enchant, aiksaurus, etc.
My pet project is irmctl, that is a daemon that gets input
from a device (currently my irman IR) and executes commands.
I use it as a way to make my computer a remote controlled
multimedia station (TV, CD and XMMS plying, etc...).
What computer languages and other skills do you know?
PERL, C, HTML, CSS are the languages (or pseudo-) that I'm
most familiar with. I'm also a qualified system
administrator with experience in many servers and
infrastructures. One of the main focuses I have to have on
duty is a special care with security.
Why should we trust you? <--- too blunt?
Short answer: you shouldn't trust strangers.
Long answer:
I know it's hard to trust a stranger you know
nothing about, but I think that I am someone you can
trust not to cause intentional harm to others.
You might trust some people who signed my public key
to the point o trusting me too.
