Mij name is Geert Warrink and I live in the village Nuenen in the Netherlands. Currently I am retired, but before that I worked as an electronic engineer with Philips Research. In the last period of my working life, I supported the users of our in-house IC design simulation package called Pstar. This included giving courses to users and writing user documentation. The language used in these activity was mostly English.
My goal in the Fedora project is the translation of documentation to Dutch.
I think that I could do a good job as I have experience in this kind of activities buildup in my working period. Besides, being retired now, I do have quite an amount of time available to spend on this project. I have been using Linux since 1995 of a PC, before that I experimented with Linux on an Amiga 2000. In the past, I have done some programming, but I don't really like that.
All in all, I think that I can improve quality and at least the quantity of the Dutch Fedora Documentation.
Kind regards, Geert Warrink

Welkom, Geert!

You sound like a contemporary of mine. However, I haven't had the pleasure of retiring yet.

That's great - at the same time, I hope you decide to contribute to some documents in English, such as the Desktop Users Guide. You can then translate them into Dutch. :-)

Since you are introducing yourself on the mailing list, I'm sure that you have read the guidelines in the wiki for participating in the Fedora Docs Project. Of course, the Fedora Translation Project is also a good fit for your language skills.
Once again, welcome to the Fedora Docs Project.
Best Regards,
John Babich Volunteer, Fedora Docs Project

Welcome Geert -- if you haven't already, you will probably want to join the fedora-trans-list and check out the Translation Quick Start Guide at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/translation-quick-start-guide/ .
