Intro to myself
by Tajidin Abd
Hello to everyone
Just here to show my self around so i hope to work hard. Well I am currently
living and working in Germany for a IT firm as an Instructor/Sys Admin. I do
enjoy my work and have been working with linux for like 7 years now. Not
only do I use Fedora but ArchLinux and some Ubuntu. I just believe its good
to keep a good mix. So i hope to do more work for Fedora in the near future.
Have a good day
Peace

The appropriate method for Joining the websites team seems to be challenging
to impossible for me as according to the UTC time conversion method they
take place at 5 am my time. Wish I could make those, but I can't with a
full time job. What should I do?

Hopefuly contributor self intro
by Mark Johnson
Hello,
My name is Mark Johnson. I've been a serious GNU/Linux user for the past
year or so and started using it over 5 years ago. I'm young, but I've been
designing websites since I was much younger, and I've dabbled in the
pseudo-professional realm of website design and management. I know XHTML
and CSS quite well, XML seems like a pretty straight forward markup
language, but I've never actually done anything with it. Python also seems
very straightforward and I've never really done much with it as my
elementary level programming experience is all with C & C++ (from MUDs),
Visual Basic, and C# (from Computer Science classes). I don't know what
XSL/XSLT or TurboGears are. I do feel that once Web 2.0 really took off
that I did not adequately keep up. But I'd like to learn on the way to
contributing to the Fedora project.

not all mirrors are created equal - 2 suggestions
by Nada O'Neal
Hi webmaster,
I'm physically located at Columbia University, so when I tried to
download a Fedora 13 install DVD iso from either of these two pages:
http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-options#architecture
http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-all
I went straight to the Columbia mirror - which, by the way, is pretty
awesome. But, Columbia does not have the DVD iso files, either for
32-bit or 64-bit:
http://mirror.cc.columbia.edu/pub/linux/fedora/releases/13/Fedora/x86_64/...
http://mirror.cc.columbia.edu/pub/linux/fedora/releases/13/Fedora/i386/iso/
... I'm going to try to complain to the right people here about that.
(ha ha!) But, I wanted to suggest for your website that:
(a) it might be possible, in the magic you're using to connect people to
the closest mirror, to also double-check that that mirror has the file
available, and if not, connect the person to the next-closest; and
(b) it might also be possible to make it a little more intuitive to know
where to go if the mirror is broken.
These are whiny because in real time, it took me maybe all of two
minutes to find the "all download methods" in the lower right corner,
then find the "let me look around..." "see all mirrors" links at the
bottom of that page, but of course two minutes of real time is seven
million years of subjective web navigation time. Some kind of "mirror
broken?" direct link might work.
Thanks.
