Self-introduction

[Greg Swift <xaeth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My name is Greg, my handle these days is xaeth, which is effectively a 
shortened versin of a name I made up for accessing a MUD with strict 
name requirements the better part of a decade ago (I haven't played 
since around then either).  @dayjob I am one of their lead linux 
engineers.  I work with improving various bits of their platform and 
processes.  One of the first things I had to learn when starting there 
>4 years ago was RPMs.  Since then I became a stickler about 
enforcing the Fedora Packaging Guidelines as our internal guidelines.  
Sadly, there is always room for improvement, especially when 
re-packaging software from 3rd party vendors.  The other thing I had to 
learn a lot about was python, and we started to make that our primary 
admin scripting tool internally.

I started helping out on the func and cobbler projects over the last
 year, but currently project @dayjob is preventing me from contributing 
as much as I want to at the moment (I've barely touched func since 0.29,
 i'm sorry seth).  

I am also starting to use augeas more and more in our puppet setup. 
 There is a python-augeas package, but it is not in EPEL at the moment. 
I've built the package and submitted the 1 patch I had in, but due to a 
lack of an EPEL maintainer it hasn't gotten release to EPEL.  The other 
day on the list we got into a discussion on augeas-devel and I 
volunteered to take on the role if possible.

I've read through the Package_Maintainers wiki.  At one point in one
 of the docs it mentions that do do this I should follow the "Become a 
co-maintainer" process, but I guess I missed that specific processes' 
documentation.

So I'm at the point where I am introducing myself in the regular process :)
