* Mike "Ditt" Dittmeier * Weston, FL, USA * Director of IT Project Management * Spirit Airlines, Inc. * I'm looking forward to creating user and admin guides, that deal with the individual services usable by small businesses and independent IT consultants. My ultimate goal is to produce a "Cook Book" style guide for building a small business server from scratch.
* Historical qualifications o I have been producing documentation for customers and IT Staff for the past 15 years. Examples include end user training for using new or updated systems, and even installation and troubleshooting guides for data center staff to be able to reproduce an entire collocation facility. o My primary skills have been in the IT Operations side: Networking Server installs and support Application install and support Monitoring systems Automation
I have implemented source control programs, bug tracking systems, and even ticketing systems for use with Network Operations Center(NOC) issue tracking. I have assisted Quality Assurance(QA) teams by installing and configuring Load test systems (Mercury Test Suite) for evaluation system performance and application tuning. My primary job now days include supervising and creating direction for the IT Project Management staff. This has required many hours in a classroom teaching my staff and the rest of IT principles of IT Project life cycles, change control management.
I have in the last few years begun learning to program using LAMP technologies (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP). o Skills? Certifications I have had throughout my career so far include MCSE, RHCE, and CCNA. I am currently working on my Project Management Professional(PMP), and RHEL5 RHCE track. I also love building PHP and MySQL applications. o What makes you an excellent match for the project? My love for Open Source Solutions, and love for documenting repeatable processes. Just plain PASSION!!! * pub 1024D/3F08ECFB 2007-09-11 [expires: 2008-09-10] Key fingerprint = 8396 9850 E308 4EFF 1A22 6C5A 4FF5 DF6C 3F08 ECFB uid Mike Dittmeier (Just "Ditt" to my friends) mike@vegasitpros.com sub 2048g/1E6E4DBD 2007-09-11 [expires: 2008-09-10]

Mike:
Welcome to the Fedora Docs Project!
There is a steering committee meeting scheduled for today at 1600 hours GMT on the Freenode IRC network on the #fedora-docs channel.
Feel free to stop by around that time and introduce yourself.
I have been involved in producing the Desktop Users Guide and, quite frankly, became overwhelmed with the wealth of choices available with Fedora 7.
I am giving it another go with the Fedora 8 release and welcome your help.
Please keep in touch and let me know any way I can help you get started.
Best Regards,
John Babich Volunteer, Fedora Docs Project

I for one appreciate your honesty here. This is why I think it's a good idea to have the Fedora (D)UG concentrate for now on solutions using only the default installation case, and avoid repeating material already found in the GNOME Desktop User Guide (which you will find on your system on the entry screen of the Help browser). The more duplication of effort writers can avoid, the faster the work will go and the more likely they will actually achieve the goal of finishing the guide.

I helped Mike a little with his CVS access a bit earlier this morning but asked that he bring issues here to the list. We need to spur some activity and he may end up helping other lurkers get their unstated questions answered. Nice to meet you Mike!
