5. Your goals in the Fedora Project
- Which packages do you want to see published?
Security fixes
- Do you want to do QA?
No, as I don't really know what to do to "do QA". My primary goal
is writing documentation (see next point), and I think it's better
to focus on one thing and do it right than doing too much things at
once and produce nothing helpful. Additionally, there seem to be
quite a handful of people that already could do QA.
- Anything else special?
Yes, I want to gather, summarize and write new documentation
for fedoralegacy.org, as the docs section on that site is
completely empty. I guess that with 7.3/8.0/9 EOL many people
will get to know Fedora Legacy, and most of them wouldn't have
heard of Fedora, apt or yum before and "just want to use it"
without a high learning curve. I'm good at clarifying and
summarizing things to make them more usable the end user.
However, I'm not a native speaker - I'll do my best to write
clean English, but it would be preferred if somebody could
look over what I write to check for correct grammar and style.
Historical qualifications
- What other projects have you worked on in the past?
I have long worked in tech support at an ISP, where I have been
also developing web interfaces for different types of applications,
mainly a DNS management software. Unfortunately it isn't free
software because of my work contract, but at least there are still
some screenshots at [3].
In 2001 I have completed my RHCE exam on RHL 7.0 [4].
I have held quite some courses; topics varying from website
development through common Red Hat Linux installation and usage
to DNS and mail server management, and people revisited me in
other courses, so I think I don't have been too bad. ;-)
I've been a contributor to the qmail and vchkpw mailing lists. You
can check my posting history at the MARC list archives [5] as well
as having a look on my patches for tools of the qmail world [6].
I'm currently supporting the German DynDNS provider www.selfhost.de
with conceptual and technical help and have written the Linux
Updater Software for that service.
- What computer languages and other skills do you know?
Languages: bash, Perl
Other skills: Good knowledge of system administration in general,
well-experienced with Red Hat Linux since 6.2
- Why should we trust you? <--- too blunt?
As I'm not going to create/sign/publish RPMs that might damage
people's computers, risk is low - simply judge from what and how
I'm going to write.
