[Alex Shepard]

Hi all,

My name is Alex Shepard.  I've been lurking for a few weeks, but I'd  
like to pitch in and help out if I can find something to work on.

I'm 33, work for a startup called Eye-Fi ih the US (in the bay area),  
doing systems infrastructure and development.  I'm pretty good at  
generic linux web sysadmin stuff, network engineering, systems  
monitoring (esp nagios & cacti).  I'm also a halfway decent coder...  
I'm pretty good with perl, php, java, javascript, and can read c and  
variants and python.

I wouldn't mind helping out really anywhere.  My strengths are  
probably in web/hosted/tools/devel, but if I had to pick I'm mostly  
curious about how the FC team manages releases, so sysadmin-releng and  
sysadmin-build sound like fun.

I'll try to drop in at the next irc meeting and say hi.

Cheers!
