Hello all,

My name is David Shier and I am coming back to fedora admin after a year or two away. My iRC nick is odin2016. Up until about a month and a half ago, I worked for Jackson in the US as a number of things, but most relevant to this is my last two positions, as an admin on their UNIX team, supported our RHEL (5,6,7) and AIX estates, and working in on the more or less server operations team as a senior associate with root access to the production environment. I am familiar with bash, python, and perl, as well as Ansible, which I used at work and at home.  I'd like to improve my Ansible and python skills, as well as just keeping my self sharp while I search for a job after my recent move to Germany. As would be expected I am a linux user at home, having used redhat/centos, Debian/ubuntu, and Archlinux, as well as a number of forks of each, Fedora included, but I am also a distro hopper and am currently messing around with elementary on my laptop, and onc e the rest of my stuff gets here... whenever that is.... i'll be reimaging the raspberry pi and tossing awx on there. At my last job I worked a good bit with RHDS, and passing data into it from Active Directory, as I have experience on both sides of that fence as well. I'm sure there things here I could say, and probably should, but i've also blocked out large bits of the last year or so, so there is that.
 
There are a number of tickets that I would *like * to work on, but before i get to deep into that I need to go and read up on how thiings int eh infra have changed since I last took a look, clone the ansible repo and read though there, and so on. I also think I saw something about updating somethings to python 3, or making sure they will work. I may take a look at those as well.  I thought I saw something about the bots as well, but now I don't so may be I am crazy. I have worked with them before, so if I see it I may just grab it.

I should be at the meeting Thursday (I have a thing at 17:00 CEST), unless I did the math on time offset really wrong or something, and will get myself added to the goby doc in the next little bit here.

If someone could pop me back into fi-apprentice, that would be great.. fas is odin2016 as well.

Thanks,

Dave Shier
