Hey fedora-infrastructure-list, I would like to introduce myself to
you all. My name is Derrick, I go by the nick Actown
in IRC and I am currently a first year student at Oregon State University studying
computer science.
I started working with computers from a very young age. I had my own RH9 server on my
home connection when I was 13. I
ran a few websites and a IRC server on that old box. I have had a home server running
Linux ever since then and I have
been using Linux on and off for my desktop needs. I know tiny bits of C/C++ and python. I
have done most of my code using
PHP and MySQL, but I am working at my C skills currently.
I am looking to help in any system administration area of the fedora infrastructure.
Helping fedora would provide me with
a great learning experience and a great way to help the world of Linux and open source.
I'm located in Corvallis, Oregon and the time zone here is UTC-0700 (PDT).
I am interested on joining the team because I haven't given anything back to the
community in the time I have been using
Linux. Also, helping can provide me with real world experience with system administration
and teamwork. I look forward to
talking with you all in the future in the IRC channel or in the meetings.
Hello Derrick! Sorry I just realized I had not responded to this from the
weekend, my apologies. Was there any specific area of the Infrastructure
you wanted to contribute to? I see you're a student, do you happen to be
available at 20:00 UTC on Thursdays for our meetings?
