Hey fedora-infrastructure-list, I would like to introduce myself to you all. My name is Derrick, I go by the nick Actown in IRC and I am currently a first year student at Oregon State University studying computer science. I started working with computers from a very young age. I had my own RH9 server on my home connection when I was 13. I ran a few websites and a IRCserver on that old box. I have had a home server running Linux ever since then and I have been using Linux on and off for my desktop needs. I know tiny bits of C/C++ and python. I have done most of my code using PHP and MySQL, but I am working at my C skills currently. I am looking to help in any system administration area of the fedora infrastructure. Helping fedora would provide me with a great learning experience and a great way to help the world of Linux and open source. I'm located in Corvallis, Oregon and the time zone here is UTC-0700 (PDT). I am interested on joining the team because I haven't given anything back to the community in the time I have been using Linux. Also, helping can provide me with real world experience with system administration and teamwork. I look forward to talking with you all in the future in the IRC channel or in the meetings.

Hello Derrick! Sorry I just realized I had not responded to this from the weekend, my apologies. Was there any specific area of the Infrastructure you wanted to contribute to? I see you're a student, do you happen to be available at 20:00 UTC on Thursdays for our meetings?

Hey there Mike! I was thinking about helping out in the sysadmin-web area, but I'm open to anything. Since Thursday is my free day (except for a class later in the afternoon), I should be able to make it to the meetings. Hope to see you there.

Excellent, I see you've already found your way into #fedora-admin. We'll chat in there.
