Meeting Agenda Item: Introduction Your Name

[David Shier]

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 once 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
