-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi I'll try to go through the information requested on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/SelfIntroduction and then go on to write some more about myself (hoping to get it right the first time and to not make too much of a fool of myself ;)). Full legal name: Sven-Thorsten Fahrbach City: Stuttgart Country: Germany Student status: Beginning 10 September, student at a school for information management My goals in the Fedora Project: Tough one... trying to help where help is needed. I think I've got sufficient experience to do some translations from English to German and vice versa and to do localisations of American to British English texts. Thus, translations is what I'm mostly interested in and probably what I'm best at. If the opportunity arises I'd also like to try myself at writing (bits of) drafts for projects/applications/how-tos/... I'm also interested in contributing to the wiki. Historical qualifications: I've attended a school for commercial correspondence, where I was trained in doing translations from my mother-tongue to English and vice versa. I'm occasionally doing translations for the IBKA (a German organisation which I'm a member of). If you want to have a look at a translation I did, you can do so here: http://www.ibka.org/en/infos/ibka.html I've got several years experience with UNIX-like operating systems. I started out with SuSE Linux in 2003, have switched to Debian in 2004, then to Ubuntu in early 2006. At the end of the year I discovered FreeBSD and became quite infatuated with it. I'm still eagerly awaiting the 7.0 release which is scheduled for later this year. Also, admittedly not too long ago, I discovered Fedora (Core 6 at that time) which struck me as much more professional than most of the other distributions out there and I genuinely like it. So, my two main interests regarding operating systems are Fedora and FreeBSD. I use Fedora more frequently, though, partly because, coming from a Linux background, I'm still more comfortable with it and partly because of Fedora itself. :) I've got some programming experience. I'm quite good at Perl, I daresay, and I also program in C and C++ now and again. At the moment I'm trying to teach myself some Java.

I'll be happy to respond to any questions you might have and I look forward to contributing to the Fedora Project. :) Greetings Sven-Thorsten -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGy0Fqn22+ucbsNucRAiwHAJ9Inliht8qWvzAjaTXb+8T5KVOoJgCggi14 wtSoW+77qRE+kW0GDzSLi+0= =EF1Y -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- fedora-docs-list mailing list fedora-docs-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-docs-list
