Greetings folks,
I'm interested in helping out QA to get myself more involved with the *nix
ecosystem I've used for many years. I have no prior QA experience, but I
am excited to learn!
My story:
Learned computing back in the DOS and BBS days (still love the King's
Quest and point-and-click genre of games). Discovered *nix around mid 90s,
but had so many problems even getting X to run (from what I remember,
there were ACPI issues and the infamous wireless drivers issues). Got more
serious about *nix in the mid 2000s when Ubuntu was taking off. Ubuntu
expanded my horizons and led me to discover Fedora. I stick with Fedora as
the sysadmin aspect of it carries over nicely into most corporate
environments with either RedHat or CentOS deployments.
Credentials/experience in sysadmin/programming:
* I use, and maybe abuse, CentOS 6.x and 7.x on work servers daily. I do
light sysadmin/devops stuff (running an internal wiki, running bash/python
scripts)
* I run Fedora 24 at home as my daily driver.
* Passed the Linux Foundation Certified System Administrator course a
couple years ago. It just lapsed last month and I don't feel like shelling
out another $300 to do the exam again and re-certify.
* Several years programming experience, self-taught through online course,
books, articles, etc. Experience developing python GUI apps with both QT
and Tk, and homebrew games with SDL and C. Other languages sprinkled here
and there over the years (PHP/MySQL, QBasic!).
Fun facts: I have a Master of Library Science degree and an English
degree. Greatly regret not doing computer science, but seems to have
worked out okay regardless. Hobies are wood working and brazilian
jiu-jitsu.
Thanks everyone, and nice to meet you all!
