Hi,
I'm Joe O'Dell, and I go by the nick ascenseur on the FAS and on IRC.
My wiki page is at [0]
I am currently in Bedford, UK (so it's a GMT timezone) and I'm a
student.
As I'm still a student, (and under 18), I don't have a "proper" job. I
do, however, make small websites and suchlike, which I stick info
about on my site [1] - I also run a web blog where I review and post
about eco-friendly stuff (mainly computers)[2].
I already contribute to the Fedora Project as an Ambassador, but also
as part of the Free Media Group [3]. I have had previous experience at
translating linux packages using Ubuntu's Launchpad system, where I
gained ~1800 "karma points"; My personal translation page is viewable
at [4].
I have actually been using Linux for a while, approximately 5 years;
considering that I am only 14, it's quite a long while! Over that time
period, I have had experience with Ubuntu, Windows (Server & Desktop),
openSUSE and, quite heavily, Fedora. Although many people prefer to
"jump ship", I have still stayed within the Ubuntu UK groups, as they
give me a really good insight into what is happening with Linux in the
UK, (the Fedora UK group has only recently started up).
I must admit, my programming skills are atrocious - Visual Basic is my
absolute limit, and I can't even do that very well. However, I am
considerably better at translation (& organisation, thank god!). Also,
through the Ambassador group, I have ascertained some quite powerful
"People Skills".
My GPG key ID is: 0x41BBF4C9
You may not need the 0x, but I get into a habit of adding it every
time! It is published to as many keyservers as I could, just in case!
It is tied to my email joseph.odell(a)googlemail.com.
I have set up a BugZilla account for my fedora email address
(ascenseur(a)fedoraproject.org).
Thanks, and I can't wait to join you!
