Hey all,
I've been lurking for about a month or so and wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. By day I'm a software engineer working in oracle and web development. I've been toying with linux for 10 years and using it exclusively at home for 3, initially Ubuntu, now Fedora. I switched because I decided it was time to give-back and, since red hat was the first distro I used a decade ago, it just felt right to contribute here.
As mentioned I've been observing for a while, reading up and looking for a good place to get started. The initscripts sounded like a perfect place for that so I grabbed one. I hope to get through a number of them, then maybe move on to autoqa milestones. Although I'm a little biased towards reviewing/fixing/writing code I'm happy to help wherever it's needed.
Best, Scott scottf on #fedora-qa

Welcome Scott! Glad to have your help with the initscripts effort, and looking forward to your contributions! Feel free to stop by #fedora-qa or autoqa-devel@lists.fedorahosted.org if you have any questions/ideas around AutoQA.
Thanks, James

We definitely need help with reviewing / fixing / writing code :). If you haven't already, I'd definitely recommend joining the autoqa-devel list, as that's the QA sub-project which involves the most actual coding. Welcome, and thanks for helping out!
