Hello, Fedora!
I'm a free software hacker and IT student at RIT looking to get involved
with the Fedora Infrastructure team. I will also be joining the team as
a Red Hat intern this Summer, if I am accepted. This is my
"introduction" email, as per
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/GettingStarted.
My *IRC Handle* is oddshocks. I use this username just about everywhere.
My *skills & tools* include GNU/*nix (especially Fedora), Python, Bash,
SASS/CSS, Vim, Git, Tmux, Irssi, Mako, Jinja, and SQLAlchemy. I have
full-stack experience, from back-end logic & database to front-end web
development. I am specifically interested in DevOps and Systems
Administration. From the infra team, I hope to learn more about
application and OS development and management. I am a fast learner and I
love solving problems with free software.
As far as *work*, I will perhaps explore some "easyfix" bugs to start,
and if I am accepted for the Red Hat internship, I will probably be
working in the area of fedmsg, Open Badges, datanommer, FUSS, and
similar things.
If you'd like to read more about my experience and skills, the resume I
used to apply for the Red Hat internship is at
https://github.com/oddshocks/resume/blob/master/resume.rst.
I should be in the IRC meeting today (which I believe starts in an hour
and a half), so perhaps I will see some of you there! Have a good one. :)
