All, Having just requested access to the sysadmin and
sysadmin-test groups on FAS and on the advice of David Nalley I thought I
should introduce myself. I have been working with the docs team over the last
week on the possibility of running the Zikula Application Framework as the CMS
behind docs.fedoraproject.org. I am a member of the board of the Zikula
Software Foundation and the Zikula Steering Committee, and I have been acting
as the lead in discussions about how to best address the needs of the docs
project on their website, and the needs of the Fedora project at large. My name is Simon Birtwistle, and I’m currently located
in Cambridge in the UK. I am in the final year of studying for a degree in
Computer Science at Cambridge University, and providing all goes well
I’ll be graduating in June. I’ve used Fedora on and off for
years and years, though despite thinking about it I never got around to
contributing. Most of my time is taken up with the Zikula project, where
my work with the Steering Committee involves project management and day to day
organisation, but I’m hoping that I can combine my work there with useful
work on the Fedora websites where it’s helpful. Skills wise, I am mainly a web developer, as you’d
expect, with a good knowledge of PHP and MySQL. I also have experience
with Java as well as C# .NET and some other less well known languages from my
degree course. I have also used Docbook in the past for Zikula project
documentation, so I at least have a vague idea where the docs project are
coming from. I’m hoping that I, and Zikula as a project, will be
able to provide a big boost to the docs project’s publishing workflow. Simon |
