using public domain documents in fedorahosted projects
by Murray McAllister
Hi,
<http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal/Licenses/CLA> states:
'7. Should you wish to submit work that is not your original creation,
you may submit it to the Project separately from any Contribution,
identifying the complete details of its source and of any license or
other restriction (including, but not limited to, related patents,
trademarks, and license agreements) of which you are personally aware,
and conspicuously marking the work as "Submitted on behalf of a
third-party: [named here] ". '
Does this apply to fedorahosted projects as well? Does this mean I can
not use/copy+paste text from a public domain document (even if it is
cited) if it is going to be stored on fedorahosted?
Cheers.

Self-introduction: Doran L. Barton (fozz or fozzmoo)
by Doran Barton
Hello!
I am Doran L. Barton and am known by some online as 'fozz' or 'fozzmoo'. I
live in Riverton, UT (USA) which is a suburb of Salt Lake City. I am a
graduate of Utah State University with a BS degree in Computer Science and
am currently employed by a small Salt Lake City business named
KnowledgeBlue where I hold the title of Chief Architect and Director of
Technology. Prior to this, I ran a small consultancy specializing in
Linux-based solutions for businesses.
As a matter of background and history, I began using open source software
in the early 1990s while I was an off and on student. I began teaching Unix
Administration courses full-time in 1992 and continued to teach part-time
or on a contract basis when I returned to my studies. I first used Red Hat
Linux in 1995 and continued using it as a server and then as my primary
desktop and transitioned into Fedora when the Fedora project was created.
My technical background is as a developer and systems administrator. My
core competency as a programmer lies in Perl but I have a significant
amount of exposure to Java, C, C++, PHP, and, of course, the Unix shell.
As a systems administrator, I've gotten my hands dirty with Linux-HA,
Sendmail, PostgreSQL, Apache, Tomcat, JBoss, MySQL, Bind, and OpenLDAP.
As a user, I primarily use KDE and XFCE. I used to use Gnome and Afterstep,
but along the way switched away.
I've written a number of Fedora or open source-related articles which have
been posted on my personal website <http://www.fozzilinymoo.org/> or on my
blog <http://www.fozzilinymoo.org/Fozzolog/>.
My technical writing skill is very good, I think. My "computer" skills are
off the charts. I am very good at raw HTML and CSS. I'm not a Javascript or
Ajax wizard, but would like to be.
Other skills... I do a lot of video editing as a hobby. It's the one thing
that keeps Windows on one computer in my office.
I met our fearless leader at the Utah Open Source Conference this last
weekend and hereby answer his challenge to (finally) get involved as a
contributor.
I look forward to working with you all.

Hi Eric,
I am running behind right now. Don't wait for me, please continue down the path you set for yourself.
