Introduction

[O. Atwin Calchand]

Greetings All,

I am Atwin Calchand and I have just completed a four year degree in 
Telecommunications Engineering.  I have been using Fedora since 4 years 
now.  I would like to join Infrastructure to help in whatever way I can 
and to broaden my skills.  I am an avid user of Fedora and FreeBSD (I 
have set up web, DNS, samba, NAS, asterisk, VPN servers amongst 
others).  For my final year project, I built a remote network monitoring 
system using only open-source software running on WRAP boxes with the 
server running FreeBSD.  I know Infrastructure uses Nagios for 
monitoring from what I have read  - I have myself experimented with it 
and my final year project actually made use of Zabbix due to dynamic IP 
issues.  I have also completed the CCNA course and part of the CCNP 
syllabus (routing and switching (BSCI and BCMSN)).

I would be very grateful if you could point me to the right place where 
I could be useful.  I am quite interested in configuring stuff or maybe 
start with monitoring until I get the gist of how open-source 
collaboration works.

Kind regards,

Atwin
