Hi, my name is Woo Huiren and I live in Singapore. FOSS and OSS is
not very popular here, and proprietary software (Micro$oft, Ci$co)
dominates our country.
Perhaps not out in the open, but behind the scenes in the
infrastructure you will likely find FOSS. Some examples are:
- EMC uses openSUSE to run its VPLEX software
- HP uses CentOS on its Storeanywhere line
- VMWare uses openSUSE for its Vcenter appliance
- Aruba networks uses CentOS
My Fedora Account System (FAS) username is Woohuiren, and my IRC is
GIANT_CRAB. I'm currently a Fedora Ambassador but I would like to
participate in more collaborative marketing efforts and learn more
about Fedora's marketing team.
I bet GIANT_CRAB is an interesting story.
Why Fedora? I joined Fedora because I was very impressed with its
innovation and cutting edge technology. (I love being on the bleeding
edge) Currently, I run Fedora on most of my servers while CentOS on
the remaining. For my laptops/workstation, I don't have a Fedora
setup yet but I'll get started on that soon, probably Wine is needed
as my school requires me to use Micro$oft software.
Consider virtualizing Windows using Boxes or VirtualBox. I do this at
work for all the things I need Windows.
What do I do? I am a web developer who is currently pursuing a
Diploma in IT, with a major in Infocomm Sales and Marketing. I enjoy
blogging and web design. I also tweet on Twitter (@woohuiren) about
Fedora related things. Please don't mind my fairly bad attempts at
promoting Fedora; still trying to learn hahaha.
Everyone here will be willing to assist and guide you in your efforts
to promote Fedora and FOSS.
Welcome Aboard!
