Hi,
My name is John Ford and I'm looking to get back into working on Fedora. I have been a Fedora user since Version 8, though I've been using Red Hat since I found an out of date boxed copy of Red Hat Linux 5.2 at a book store.
I've been involved in Fedora in the past, but it was a very long time ago. I was part of the packager group back then. I used the FAS account "john64", but I've created a new FAS account "jhford". The old nick was a terrible choice I made when I was much younger. I hadn't had the time to keep up with packaging, but I'd like to get more involved again. I have also learned a bunch since I was last involved in Fedora. I don't have a specific interest at the moment, but I'd like to be able to contribute to a project that has helped me so much through the years.
As for software and open source experience, I've been working at very large open source project for 9 years. I started on the release engineering team, then moved to our phone os team working on the source management and build system. I now work on a team which builds a CI platform. Our project isn't useful outside of our project yet, but it's a similar project to Travis, Buildbot or Jenkins.
I've submitted a review request for a hex editor (wxHexEditor). It'd be great if you could take a look!
Outside of work, I have a lot of interests. I spend my time primarily bicycling, listing to music, cooking and travelling by train through Europe. I'm living in Berlin, Germany but have lived in San Francisco, US and Toronto, Canada in the past.
Well, the weather is unseasonably nice right now, so I'm going to head out. Hope your weekend goes well!
Cheers,
John
