My goals in the Fedora project are to give something back to the
community. I want to help out and be a part of what I consider to be
the future. I have been a using(evangelizing?) Linux since '97, and
Fedora since FC1 test 1.
I am starting this process to develop for Fedora because I saw a need
for FreeNX packages. I wrote an article for Fedoranews to do manual
installations of NX, and was asked to do Fedora specific packages. I
will help out in any capacity that I can, including package
maintenance, QA, hacking, etc... At my job I am known for making
things work.
While I have never officially worked on any public Linux projects, I
am now devoting time for writing articles to help out users. I am best
at scripting languages (bash, etc...) but can program in C... Been
dabbling in Perl, not that I would say that i'm proficient, but I've
always believed that if you know one language, you can program in them
all (notable exception: Assembly). I am an expert in networking, NOS's
of all type's, and creating solutions.
It is asked for me to give an explanation as to why you should trust
me: I don't have a good reason as to why. It is fairly simple to
verify that I am who I say I am. I work for a very public company,
whose corporate office's are in Torrance, CA. A phone call to the main
switchboard, and asking for me should do the trick.
My GPG key has been uploaded to pgp.mit.edu. This should satisfy the
key requirement.

Thank you,
