Subject
1. Self-Introduction: Tommy Reynolds
I have been involved in Fedora Docs for some time now, mostly as a
lurker and an "ex cathedra" developer voice. For those of you who have
successfully managed to avoid meeting me, I've prepared this SI.
Body
1. Full legal name - James T Reynolds
2. City, Country - Decatur, Alabama USA
3. Profession - Oldest Software Guy (OSG)
4. Company -
MegaCoder.com
5. Your goals in the Fedora Project
* What do you want to write about?
I'd prefer to review rather than compose, as a rule.
* What other documentation do you want to see published?
Something akin to Jon Bentley's "Programming Perls"
series.
* Do you want to edit for grammar/writing and/or technical
accuracy?
Yeah, I'll do either from time to time.
* Anything else special?
Perhaps I could help with stylesheets and toolchains.
6. Historical qualifications
* What other projects or writing have you worked on in the
past?
A few Red Hat Developer courses, such as "Embedded System
Engineering", "Application Development and Porting".
I've also suckered a magazine editor or so, such as for
Telecommunications magazine and Network Today. Lotsa other project
documents, even MIL-SPEC stuff.
* What level and type of computer skills do you have?
35+ years of rocket science, embedded systems, operating
system internals, telecommunications, SCADA and more than
250 UNIX/Linux device drivers.
* What other skills do you have that might be applicable?
User interface design, other so-called soft skills (people skills),
programming, etc.
I teach Linux kernel internal, device driver, and other
classes.
I don't do GUI's. In Japan, my nickname is NOGUI, which I'm assured
does not translate into something hideous.
* Why should we trust you? <--- too blunt?
Literate software developer, fair keyboardist, but most of
all, devilishly handsome.
