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.<br>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 <span class="misspell">IRC</span>
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.<br>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.<br>I&#39;m located in Corvallis, Oregon and the
time zone here is <span class="misspell">UTC</span>-0700
(PDT).<br>I am interested on joining the team because I haven&#39;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. <br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Thanks,<br>Derrick &quot;Ac-town&quot; Dymock<br>
