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?
