start in a new Job in a month time. This has given me time to
focus on what I really like. And that's why I'm here writing
this email to you.
I'd like to contribute and I think I might help with packages
and looking after the Fedora Infrastructure. That's also why I'm
sending this two both the mailing lists.
I'm reading and experimenting with the Fedora packaging
system (
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/html/RPM_Guide/index.html)
but I'm not sure where to start really. I'm keeping an eye on
the devel mailing list for package reviews as well, just to
learn what needs to be checked. I have no previous experience in
packaging at this level (I've built simple custom packages in
the companies I've worked for, but not at this level of
expertise and complexity).
From a SysAdmin perspective I have 11 years of experience. In
the last 5 years I've been working on RedHat 5/6/7. I have a
really good experience with RH Clusters too (cman, rgmanager,
corosync, pacemaker, etc...). Satellite 5/6, Katello, Spacewalk,
IPA, Free IPA, LDAP, GPFS/GFS2 and in general shared
filesystems. I've been using Chef at a good level in the last
year and a half (VMware VM's deployment and management, RH7
Clusters deployment). In the last month I've also started
learning Python and I love it. I hope to use it here and at work
as too really soon.
Here's my
LinkedIn
account if you are curious
. My
nickname on Fedoraproject is "Aurelie". Public SSH key and PGP
Key are in my FAS account.
So ya, I'm keen to give my
contribute and any suggestion/advice about where to start and
how would be much appreciated. I think I should be able to
dedicate 5/7 hours a week to this.
