Hello everyone, I'm a 38 year old technical writer from Germany. In my day job I'm writing instruction manuals for machines and I don't have much experience with describing software, but I think there will be at least some similarities :) I tested Fedora back in my school days with Fedora Core 1 and 2 (still have the CDs), then I had a long Windows-only phase, which ended when I first heard about Gnome 3. So I installed Fedora next to Windows with version 15 and I think I haven't skipped a release since then. Since one or two years Fedora is my primary OS and Windows is for gaming and some stuff my wife wants to use. Right now Fedora powers my desktop system, my ~14 year old laptop and my tablet (Surface Pro 4), which is a pretty big variety of devices if you ask me... Parallel to my job I'm working on my master thesis about the advantages and possibilities when using version control software in documentation projects... and yes, I'm writing a chapter about how docs.fedoraproject.org works as a positive example. If someone wants to talk about it, I'm always glad to have interview partners ;) A reason to write about the Fedora docs is because I want to contribute somewhat in the future, after the thesis. I think I am a somewhat typical linux user who knows enough about computers to not destroy everything, but has to do some reading first if asked to install software which isn't in the repos or available as flatpak. So I hope I can be useful to write tutorials for the average user because I'm one of them. What I'm not used to is writing in English, so if you don't understand something in future communication, maybe that's because I messed something up. I'll try my best. I uploaded my GPG key to pgp.mit.edu and this mail should be signed too, so if someone prefers encrypted communication, you should have everything you need. I'm looking forward to work with you Nils Birkenstock
