Self introduction

[Peter W Smith]

Hi everyone,

A short message to introduce myself. I'm Peter Smith, originally from
the UK but living in the Netherlands. I work as a Technical Writer for
a marine propulsion manufacturer, but don't get to do any software
writing as part of my work.  Before I got this job I was studying for
the RHCSA exam and heading down a sysadmin path, so that's the area
where most of my software knowledge is. I have some experience with
using Go, Python and a little bit of Ruby as well. I also worked as a
linguist at universities in the USA and Germany for a decade and for my
academic publishing used LaTeX extensively, and from that I developed
an interest in many different content management systems.

I have been using Linux for a few years now, and Fedora for most of
that time so it's nice to be a part of the project.

I'll contribute in whatever way I can and keep my eye out for things
that I can pick up. I started recently with doing some of the release
notes for Fedora 34, and will watch the repo and quick-docs issue page.

Here's my gpg info:

gpg --fingerprint 0B12A0BB    
pub   rsa4096 2020-09-28 [SC]

uid           [ unknown] Peter W Smith

All the best,
Pete

Hi Peter,

Welcome to Fedora Project! Contributions to documentation are most welcome (and also much needed) in Fedora.

Currently, I am working with some others on a completely new documentation for Fedora Server Edition. (for the current status see https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-server/,  in statu nascendi, therefore not yet publicly linked ). As a RHCSA and sysadmin interested person you could co-conceptualize a developing documentation, create completely new contributions or revise and proofread first versions of articles here. So this is an interesting and creative opportunity and field that can be shaped - at least from my point of view (I'm a scientist in Bremen, Germany, and as such in the writing business).

I would be very happy if we could get in touch about this and work on it together.

Best
Peter
