1. Troy Jonathon Dawson 2. USA, Batavia, Illinois 3. System Administrator 4. Fermilab (Fermi National Accelorator Lab)
5. Your goals in the Fedora Project
* Which packages do you want to see published?
I currently only plan on working with the Fedora Legacy project, and as such don't plan on publishing any new packages. I plan on helping with packages on RedHat 7.3 (and possibly 9) that have remote security exploits.
* Do you want to do QA?
Yes. I am very good at that.
* Anything else special?
Currently, no, I'm just an average legacy sys-admin wanting to help.
6. Historical qualifications
* What other projects have you worked on in the past?
Fermi Linux 6.1.x, 7.1.x, 7.3.x, 9.0.x
Fermi Linux LTS 3.0.x
* What computer languages and other skills do you know?
General jack of all trades, but very very weak in perl.
Favorite is bash and java, but I've debugged in most everything back to fortran. (never tried cobol)
I rarely get a chance to just sit down and code, so I'm really a little rusty on that, but where I shine is debugging and minor tweeks.
* Why should we trust you? <--- too blunt?
Not to blunt, and a question needed to be asked.
I have a past record of fixing problems for users at Fermilab and elsewhere. But I think more important is that if I induce, or let someone else induce, a problem into these legacy packages, my users will be all over me, not to mention my boss.
