Introduction

[Scott Corcoran]

Hello all,

     Please sign me on for 5-20 hours a week of QA-related work... not 
sure just where I fit in yet; feedback is of course welcome.

     I have been using Fedora for the past 3 years as a staging platform 
for websites which live on CentOs. Before that I have been using 
Unix/Linux for the past 30 or so years as an application platform but 
also with a brief foray into the  System V/386 kernel. Currently I work 
full-time as the web guy / admin for a non-profit maintaining a fairly 
complex low-volume website.

     Fedora seems a little better than most of the other variants of 
Linux; I am on a fc17 Gnome spin right now. I have a couple of laptops 
lurking around which I can use for loading newer builds. I have lots of 
skills with historical tools, ranging from C/C++ (I still recognize 
assembly), make/sed/awk/bash/etc., some Java, some git, and the usual 
gamut of SQL and PHP skills. I do not mind triage, but someone will 
probably need to point me in the right direction to get started testing 
ruby-on-rails or Python or IRC. I don't mind getting all dirty with 
stack traces and compiling to point fingers at the right problem.

     I am available only after 8-5 work hours in Pacific Time.
     Please let me know where the need is greatest and what is 
appropriate for a newbie to your process.
     Thanks.
