Hello and welcome to Fedora! Charalampos Stratakis Associate Software Engineer Python Maintenance Team, Red Hat ----- Original Message ----- From: "Darryl T. Agostinelli" <dagostinelli@xxxxxxxxx> To: devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, February 1, 2017 5:30:28 AM Subject: Self Introduction: Darryl T. Agostinelli Hello All, My name is Darryl T. Agostinelli. I am a professional programmer and I work for myself. I have been a Linux user since the 1990's and have been itching for years to author a package and contribute it to the community that has provided me with so much. Thank you all for the work that you have done to enrich my life over all these years. The time has finally come. My professional work has varied greatly over the years. Currently, I'm involved in run-of-the-mill things like a database migration, a firmware project (that one has been a blast) and an intranet application. The project list changes quite often. I've worked in so many industries and on so many projects. I've had a great time of it all. My core competencies are extremely varied. As for languages, the list of languages that I have a high degree of competency in include Pure-C as well as C++, Python, C#, Javascript, Visual Basic and now Lua. From the language list, you might be able to tell that I've worked a lot in Windows as well as Linux. I think of myself as a lifetime learner. I built hypatia (the math library that I'm submitting today) to teach myself some linear algebra as well as computer graphics topics. I built it because I wasn't happy about the available pure-C options for 3D-math available (and it also afforded me an opportunity to write something for the community) I am also working through the Eudyptula Challenge. I'm up to task 14. A few months ago, I had my first few (albeit trivial) patches accepted to the Linux Kernel. I am active in my local community here in Austin, Texas. I maintain a private email list for other local programmers to share ideas. I also teach the computer science class at a local parochial high school, I mentor some aspiring programmers (high school students), I co-coach soccer and I also lead a group of Cub Scouts. I am hoping to become sponsored and then I hope to have my project become part of Fedora Linux. Link: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1418157 Many Kind Regards, Darryl T.
