Background
- Comfortable with Windows desktop and server products - certified systems engineer
- Have
several years experience developing and presenting learning materials
to university students and workers within technical areas of various
companies.
- Have tested fan created missions for games such as Thief and even delved in creating some of the readables.
- Great
believer in KIS (keep it simple) and have found that screen shots, etc.
are excellent learning tools for those of us who are not computer
naturals
Knowledge of Linux / Fedora
- Absolute
Newbie ... less than a week old. I'm somewhat intimidated by the new
concepts and perceptions encompassing Fedora but I'm excited to be able
to dig into a few area of expertise.
- I've
jumped in with a dual-boot install. I thought that all I had to do was
to install Fedora on freed-up space on a single hard drive already
occupied by Microsoft Vista. However, I soon discovered that the two
systems handle "primary" drives somewhat differently and that the only
way I could get a viable working copy of Fedora on my computer was to
install it on what Vista designated as part of the "extended" drive
(this variant doesn't appear to be addressed in the installation guide).
Goals - Where I could help
Since I'm so new to Linux and Fedora I am less likely to miss or
overlook steps that a Fedora expert takes for granted. I'm also more
likely to query what appears to be outdated documentation (e.g. the
software's recommendation to follow what is actually a mandatory
procedure to create a user name and password during installation). At
the same time, I recognize I have somewhat of a learning curve to
overcome so probably the best place to use me is in testing and editing
of current material.
Availability
I'm between semesters and have plenty of free time between now and May
9 to devote myself to this project (at least 40 hrs a week). When I
return to school my time will be limited to only a few hours a week.
