Self-Introduction

[Tommy Reynolds]

Subject

1.  Self-Introduction: Tommy Reynolds

I have been involved in Fedora Docs for some time now, mostly as a
   lurker and an "ex cathedra" developer voice.  For those of you who have
   successfully managed to avoid meeting me, I've prepared this SI.

Body

1.  Full legal name 	- James T Reynolds
   2.  City, Country	- Decatur, Alabama USA
   3.  Profession 	- Oldest Software Guy (OSG)
   4.  Company 		- MegaCoder.com
   5.  Your goals in the Fedora Project

* What do you want to write about?

I'd prefer to review rather than compose, as a rule.

* What other documentation do you want to see published?

Something akin to Jon Bentley's "Programming Perls"
        series.

* Do you want to edit for grammar/writing and/or technical
        accuracy?

Yeah, I'll do either from time to time.

* Anything else special?

Perhaps I could help with stylesheets and toolchains.

6.  Historical qualifications

* What other projects or writing have you worked on in the
        past?

A few Red Hat Developer courses, such as "Embedded System
        Engineering", "Application Development and Porting".
        I've also suckered a magazine editor or so, such as for
        Telecommunications magazine and Network Today.  Lotsa other project
        documents, even MIL-SPEC stuff.

* What level and type of computer skills do you have?

35+ years of rocket science, embedded systems, operating
        system internals, telecommunications, SCADA and more than
        250 UNIX/Linux device drivers.

* What other skills do you have that might be applicable?
        User interface design, other so-called soft skills (people skills), 
        programming, etc.

I teach Linux kernel internal, device driver, and other
        classes.

I don't do GUI's.  In Japan, my nickname is NOGUI, which I'm assured
        does not translate into something hideous.

* Why should we trust you? <--- too blunt?

Literate software developer, fair keyboardist, but most of
        all, devilishly handsome.
