Hi! My name is Blake Ridgway (IRC/Matrix handle: blakeridgway), and I decided it was time to re-introduce myself to the Fedora Infrastructure community as I have since change e-mail domains and my dropped my previous IRC/Matrix handle - Zormak.
Here's a bit about me and what I hope to contribute and learn:
Skills I Bring:
Systems Administration: I have extensive experience as a Systems Administrator, Network Engineer, and Site Reliability/Platform Engineer, working mainly with Linux environments. I specialize in open-source technologies and have expertise in managing homelab and organizational setups, including automation, server management, and containerization.
Programming: I am proficient in Ruby, Bash scripting, and have experience with Python and Go. I am also familiar with infrastructure automation using tools like Ansible and Terraform.
Technologies: Over the years, I've worked with a wide range of Linux distributions (Fedora, CentOS, Debian) and container technologies such as Podman and Docker.
Skills I Want to Learn:
I’m eager to deepen my knowledge of Fedora's infrastructure tools and processes, especially around maintaining high availability systems and scaling infrastructure.
I'm also interested in learning more about Fedora's CI/CD pipelines and contributing to security best practices.
Areas of Interest:
I plan to get involved in resolving Easyfix issues related to infrastructure automation, monitoring, or improving the performance of Fedora's infrastructure whenever there are some listed to be worked on.
Questions:
Are there any particular tools or workflows I should become familiar with when it comes to Fedora's containerization or automation systems?
Are there any projects that are in immediate need of attention that align with my skill set?
I look forward to working with and learning from the team.
Thank you for your time, and I appreciate any guidance or feedback you can offer as I get back into the groove of being in the Fedora space again.
Until next time, I will be browsing and reading through the Fedora Infrastructure documentation.
Thanks,
Blake Ridgway
