Hi all,
My name is Michael. I come from New Zealand but am currently living in
China.
* What other projects or writing have you worked on in the past?
I have one years experience as a technical writer, have worked as an
English teacher here in China, and have also been involved with writing
knowledge base articles in another job I had.
* What level and type of computer skills do you have?
I have over 10 years experience in the IT industry, mostly in technical
/ customer / product support, but also one's years experience in
technical writing as mentioned above. I would consider myself a jack of
all trades, master of none. I know a little bit about a wide variety of
technologies, but don't know any one thing deeply.
* What other skills do you have that might be applicable? User
interface design, other so-called soft skills (people skills),
programming, etc.
N/A
* What makes you an excellent match for the project?
Even though I have used Linux for a few years, I would still consider
myself at the beginner end of the skill range. This, along with the
fact that I live in a foreign country with a different language, gives
me good insight in how to explain things in an easier way, more suitable
for beginners.
I am not currently working (am a student), so I have a lot of free time
currently. I will be starting a new job in the coming weeks (hopefully,
dependent on a background check), but as a potential winner of the
'World's most boring man' competition, I will still have time to
contribute to this project.
I am also very patient, and understand that it will take time to learn
how things work in the team, and how best I can contribute to the team,
and to the Linux community as a whole.
