Greetings,
I'm Garry Williams and I recently retired from a software development job and now want to spend more time contributing to Fedora.
My developer experience started in the late sixties with IBM S/370 Assembler. I had various jobs programming and software support of IBM MVT and MVS operating systems, mostly with Amdahl Corporation. After that I started working with Unix and Solaris 2.6 in the late nineties. My first Linux experience was Red Hat Linux 5.2 (if I remember correctly :-). Later I used Mandrake, later still Mandriva after that and came to Fedora with Fedora Core 5. I've used Fedora ever since for my personal machines. My last job (Comcast) involved development of Web-based services and applications that deployed on Debian machines in various company data centers around the US.
I have not contributed much aside from regular bug reports and a few PRs here and there over the years. In my spare time, I am an avid bridge player. That brings me to a simple package I have prepared, deal - a Bridge Hand Generator. My review request is: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2040118

Dear Garry,
Welcome to Fedora! The Bridge Hand Generator looks really interesting. I've been meaning to learn Bridge; now I'll be able to have computer-assistance for at least the dealing aspect!
Best wishes,
Sebastian

Thank you for the warm welcome, Sebastian. You will never regret learning the game of bridge. I encourage you to give it a try.
