Hi everyone,
Here is a little about me.
My name is Matthew Whittle and I currently work as a senior application
developer at VSP (Vision Service Plan) - it is eye insurance. I have a
lovely wife and no kids (yet!). We live in Sacramento California in the US
and I heard about this project through someone at JBoss at the JavaOne
conference in San Francisco. At my current work I develop backend services
for our membership using Java and Websphere and for fun I develop games for
the iPhone (I have about 8 out now). I have been using Fedora at home for
about 5 years now.
I joined this group because I have a desire to build a 3D operating
system. By tomorrow. Just kidding. Yes I know that is a huge task but I
thought I could start small by making a 3D desktop background... or maybe
I should start even smaller. But at least you know my short and long term
goals.
My IRC handle I believe is MattWhCaUs (it is the nickname I used)
(by the way,
http://www.wikihow.com/Register-a-User-Name-on-Freenode lists
IRC at
http://webchat.freenode.com/ but it is really
http://webchat.freenode.net/ Later on you can show me how to fix that
myself!)
Cool beans - looking forward to hearing from y'all.
Cheers,
Matthew Whittle
