Hello!
I was kindly sponsored into the packager's group by Carl George late last year, but
had neglected to say hello here. My name is David Trudgian, and I'm currently living
in the far south-west of the UK, having returned to the clouds and rain last year after 11
years in sunny Texas.
I first picked up a Linux distribution on a magazine cover CD in 1999, and have spent much
of my professional life and hobby time working/playing with it since. I studied computer
science in the early 00s, before migrating into bioinformatics research, and then high
performance computing. Currently, I work on a container runtime used mainly in HPC, which
I've now packaged for Fedora / EPEL [1]. Hope to be picking up packaging of a couple
more Go modules, to lead to packaging of some related tools too.
Many thanks to those who have been so welcoming and generous with their assistance
already. I look forward to meeting others virtually, and perhaps in person.
Cheers,
DT
