Self Introduction

[Samuel Sieb]

My name is Samuel Sieb.  I live near Vancouver, Canada.  I'm on IRC on moznet 
and freenode with the nick "ssieb".  I started programming around the time I 
started high school, beginning with Assembler on an Apple II and working up to 
higher level languages after that. :-)  I've been using RedHat/Fedora since 
RH5.1 and love the freedom and openness of Linux and the community around it. 
I'm married and we have four boys, so my available time is somewhat limited 
which has kept me from getting as involved as I would like.

I'm also one of the developers of the ChatZilla IRC client and as the current 
maintainer of the package does not have time to keep it updated, I would like to 
co-maintain it.  However, he is not able to sponsor me and after reading the 
wiki pages, I'm still not sure what the process would be for me to get involved 
in this case.  I'm familiar with building RPMs as I have done it many times for 
creating and testing patches in various packages, but I haven't directly used 
the Fedora build system.  The documentations appears to be clear and useful 
though.  I have a FAS account and SSH key setup.  I would appreciate if someone 
would let me know what the next step should be or if there is any other 
information you would like me to provide.
