Hello everyone. I'm Tom Cummings. I'm from the US. I've recently retired
from a full-time corporate job in IT. I worked in many positions from help
desk to team and department management. I focused on infrastructure,
systems/server administration, and system design. I am not a developer, but
I have worked with dev teams and software development projects for
z-series, i-series, and distributed platforms. I have basic skills in Perl
and Python coding.
I have worked with international and remote teams across the world. I speak
and understand (very rusty) German. I have a BA in History, Germanic
Languages and Literature, MBA in IT Management.
I've been using Linux for +20 years - Red Hat, FreeBSD, Gentoo, Slackware,
Ubuntu, and, most recently, Fedora. The IT environment I worked in was
primarily MS/Windows, but with a significant Linux/Unix footprint.
Currently, I am working my way through the Linux Foundation Cloud
Engineering boot camp, but I don't have much practical experience in that
space.
I'm working my way through the Fedora Docs team Contributing guide (
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-docs/contributing/) and
learning AsciiDoc. I'll also work on setting up a workspace with Git and
Vim.
I'd like to contribute to documentation in a way that is most helpful to
the Fedora community while continuing to sharpen my technical capabilities,
especially with servers and cloud engineering. That said, I am ready to
help on whatever needs to be done.
Thanks.
Tom Cummings
