Introduction

[Liam Dunn]

Hey guys,
I'm Liam Dunn, and looking to participate in an open source project that
will let me put my current knowledge into practice, and also further extend
my knowledge, particularly in the areas of system administration of Linux
systems and networking. Having done some looking around, Fedora looks like
the ideal place.

I am in Year 9 at high school (equivalent to a high school sophomore in the
US), and have been coding for 6 years in a wide variety of languages, such
as Python, Ruby, C, C#, JavaScript, Lisp, and have also dabbled in languages
such as C++, Haskell, and Io. I have been using Linux for 3 years now.

I am located in Melbourne, Australia, and spend a lot of time on IRC under
the name "baddog", particuarly Freenode, and Ninthbit, a small IRC network
which I help operate.

I would particularly like to get involved with sysadmin-devel, sysadmin-noc,
and sysadmin-tools.

Looking forward to hearing from you guys,
Liam

It's really best to pick one thing in particular.  Were you looking to do
administrative tasks or development?

Development would be better at this stage, as I have more experience there.

If you're looking at doing development we have a variety of web apps in
Fedora that we need to maintain.  We tend to write everything we do in
python.

Quick question -- do you have any experience making releases of software?
Particularly software that uses python's distutils?  We currently have
a bottleneck getting a few releases out the door and making some alpha
candidate tarballs might be a good way to start.

No, I don't, but I'll poke around google a bit and see what docs I can dig
up, and see what I can do :)
