Greetings.
My name is Michael Haynes (IRC: mhaynes) and I'm from southern Alabama in the US. I've been working with computers for around 25 years with 20 of them being in a professional capacity. Over the years I have worked in PC support, network installation and support, and for the past 8 years as a developer. Currently I am working toward moving more into system administration and security.
I would like to apply my current skill set to the Fedora project in any way I can while getting some more hands-on experience with administration / security so that I can build up that skill set to an acceptable level. Here's a short list of what I bring to the table:
- C++, C#, Java, Python
- HTML, _javascript_, JQuery
- XML, XSLT, XPath
- MS SQL, PostgreSQL
- A+, Network+, Security+, MCP, and several CIW certifications. Currently preparing for the Linux+ and hope to achieve that within the next 6 weeks.
- Good communication skills (and not too shabby at documentation)
There are several goals I hope to achieve here. First and foremost is the opportunity to be a part of this community and learn from you all while hopefully contributing something positive back to the group and the project as a whole. And on a personal level I want to further develop my current skills while also building up the required skills to move my career in a new direction.
For the next few weeks I will probably be hiding in the background just trying to get acclimated to how the team works and the processes you follow. Once I've got a good feel for things I'll be jumping in with both feet!
Feel free to contact me at mhaynes.linux@xxxxxxxxx if you have any questions or just want to chat about something.
Thanks,
Michael Haynes
