Hello everyone,
My name is Justin Lynn
Reid and I was happy to find that the Fedora project was looking for
volunteers to help in QA tasks. I'm 22 years old and here's a little
about my background.
I'm currently a Meteorological Programmer at a private weather
company in Oklahoma called Weather Decision Technologies Inc. This
professional role is a unique combination of both an atmospheric
scientist and a software developer, where I specialize in backend server
development and Geographic Information systems. I've been an avid Linux
user ever since 2010 and my first Linux distribution was Ubuntu 10.04.
However, in the professional space, I have mostly used Red Hat and
CentOS for my work.
What attracted me to Fedora project is the community, which in
my opinion seemed the most inviting to participation in the development
process than other distributions. I've been interested in Open source
ever since I first downloaded Ubuntu, however I always found entry way
into FOSS development sort of vague and confusing. But since after
becoming a professional programmer and discovering how Fedora's team
does things I would really like to lend my skills to help in creating a
technology that has not only advanced my career, but has also lead to a
higher quality of life.
Currently my main programming language is Python,
however I also know some shell scripting, java and even the legacy
Fortran 90. I'm currently teaching myself C as well and will hopefully
be applying that knowledge soon also. In addition I know some basic SQL.
I have found that QA is a great way to learn how a system works so any
tasks involving testing, writing tools, or just managing bugs I will be
willing to take on! I've included a link to my LinkedIn profile if you
want to know more about me and what I do.

Justin Lynn Reid
