Greetings everyone,
My name is Matthew (cuppsy on IRC), and I
recently joined this mailing list in hopes of eventually being able to
help volunteer in the Infrastructure group with Fedora. I have been a
desktop user of Linux for almost a decade, and for the past three years
have ran Arch Linux (and now Fedora 16) using dwm and a mostly CLI-based
system. I thoroughly enjoy studying Linux and have recently launched a
CentOS home web server to continue learning. In March, I am taking the
RHCSA exam, with hopes of taking the RHCE exam afterwards.
I am currently a web developer, and based in Miami, Florida. In
addition to development, I also help manage our servers, and recently
have taken that from a passing interest to something I'd like to
eventually do full-time. A chance to work with the Fedora Project, even
for a few hours a week, seems like an excellent way to get some
experience under my belt and a great opportunity to work with others
more knowledgeable than myself.
Anyway, that's my little "Hello World!" I hope I can learn from this
experience and hopefully in the future be able to partake in helping
with the Fedora Project. Cheers.
Matthew
PS
- Being a developer, I saw the possibility of being able to donate some
of my time to the Fedora website as well. I was wondering (maybe this
isn't the place to ask) if it's possible to get involved with two
groups, or if that's something I should hold off on until I've become
more well-established within just one group?
