My name is Ozan Caglayan and I'm from Istanbul/Turkey, age 26.
I was one of the core developers of the Pardus Linux distribution funded and developed by the Turkish government. I became a part of the project in 2007 and worked as a paid developer until January 2012.
I became the primary maintainer of ~450 source packages namely the Linux kernel, NM/MM stack, udev, *Kit, PulseAudio, ALSA, BlueZ, foomatic/CUPS/Ghostscript/*, sane-backends, a bunch of hardware libraries, ACPI tools, perl/python modules. During this period, I tried to be in contact with upstream as much as possible and contributed to many open source projects like Linux kernel, ALSA, D-Bus, NM, Busybox, KDE, etc.
In 2010, I became the release manager of our corporate edition which was based on KDE 3.5.x and we released it in February 2011.
Now, I've migrated all my systems to F16 as I think that the Fedora/RedHat developers do really a great job and guide the Linux world with nice moves and innovations like systemd, dracut, /usrmove, automatic printer queue configuration (back in 2008), etc, etc. My main repository to look up when I maintain my packages back in Pardus was always Fedora repositories so it was clear that my second distro would be Fedora.
Long story short, I'm here to help, maintain packages, and contribute as much as possible to Fedora.
I was really an integration, patch, bugfix, debugging, backporting, scripting guy back in Pardus. I'm fairly good at Python. I pretty suck in GUI design/development. I already prepared some RPM packages that I'll put on review ASAP to get my hands dirty.
Thanks,
Regards
