hi all,

My name is Anshu Prateek (anshprat  on freenode). I am from Bangalore, India. I have been a Fedora user since Fedora Core 2/FC3. I have learnt almost eveything thanks to Fedora (managing about a dozen nodes in  college lab and later hundreds to thousands of RHEL nodes at work). I would like to contribute to the infrastructure team @ Fedora so that I can give back what I have learnt and also to learn the latest in tech.

I had worked for Drupal as a part of GSOC (OpenID AX implementation)[1] and I report bugs for firefox nightly.

At my day work, I am a devops. Earlier I was with the search ops team at Yahoo! and have a pretty good knowledge of large scale production environments. Presently am also dabbling into release and QA environments. I am good at bash and php with moderate skills at perl,python and mysql. I have experience with svn and git as an end-user. I have been playing around a bit with ansible. IPv6 is one of my fields of interest.[2]

The GettingSponsored doc talks about picking only one FIG. I can contribute the most with least onboarding time to sysadmin-web FIG. I can also contribute to the sysadmin-hosted and sysadmin-tools FIG as required later on.

I will pitch in for a sponsorship request later but for the time being I will like to work on these

https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/3617
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/3936
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/3984
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/3987

I can contribute about 4 hours per week on the least. And more as it gets going.

I blog at http://hackalyst.info.  My name is unique enough that a decent search engine will get you to me.
