Self-Introduction

[Jonathan Drouillard]

Hello,

I'm Jonathan Drouillard, 24 years old and from Corsicana, TX.  I'm about to
transfer to Baylor University for a degree in bioinformatics. I studied
computer science for two years, but found a lack of challenges in most of
the courses. Programming has been my favorite way to procrastinate since I
was 13 years old. I have 'experience' in C, Objective C, C++, Java, Perl,
and minor acquaintance with most programming languages. An extensive
portfolio of applications should follow that sentence; but, for the most
part, I have failed at transitioning from development to a release. I host
10 websites on a Linode running Ubuntu. I run Fedora in a virtual machine on
my windows box.

I believe writing documentation or tutorials will develop the skills
necessary to bring my own ideas into release. I have no prior background
writing documentation except for a technical writing class. I am not a guru
of the *nix world, but I have always been able to find my way around thanks
t  man pages, tutorials and wikis.

Armed with a tablet, pencil, and paper it is my turn to give back to the
community. I was sent here from Ycombinator with the promise of an excellent
community. My question is: where do I go from here? I'm already in the IRC
chat. How do I find what needs to be documented, could use tutorials, or
anything else? I'm also open to writing docs and tutorials non-Fedora
projects (ie github) that need help, making sites dedicated to teaching how
to use software or open source programs, or any other ideas you have for
informing users.
