Hi all, I've been lurking on the mailing list for a while and I finally registered for my fedora account today (username: chrisj) I'm interested in helping out as time permits. I got on irc once (lurking again) and haven't really logged in since. I'll try to make a few meetings after the holidays I'm planning to get my personal test systems setup soon. I just moved and still getting things straight at home. Bought a 750GB drive last night and will be installing F10 over the weekend. I had been running the U... distro and it's time to get back to the fedora/RH rpm way of doing things :-) I've used RedHat since before Fedora existed (I think 6 was the first one). Started as a hobbyist, 2 years. Then got a job as an admin and have been doing Linux admin and Cisco networks for the last 5 years. My current employer is a Win shop so I just get to run the DNS, email, and network, but the network is 50 remote offices and 3 different data centers in the midwest. I don't mind the Windows too much and can find my way around them, it's also kinda fun to get the Linux and MS products to play nice together. I've worked with a lot of different linux and OSS software products including: postfix, openldap, apache, bind, samba, mailman, pam, built some custom rpm's, etc. I use RHEL mostly at work and some fedora and Cent for testing (some suse, deb, and slackware in the past). I used to do lots of security firewall apliances with various linux distros (I was a big fan of LRP when it would fit on a floppy), most of this is now done with Cisco in my world. I can shell script pretty well and I've written several perl scripts in the last few years (dabbled in php but not enough to know it well). I've always been interested in python but don't have much if any exp with it. I also don't have much experience with SQL/DB or source control. I was looking at the FIGs and would be interested in the base sysadmin and sysadmin-noc for now while I figure out where everything is and what it does. I'm also interested in more info on the sysadmin-tools and sysadmin-web FIG. So, next just apply for the FIGs, keep lurking, ask some questions, show up for IRC meetings?
