My name is Daryl, I'm a senior at NCSU studying for a B.S. in Physics. I've recently been 'turned on' to Fedora and made myself at home in this operating system. i'm a power-user at heart and enjoying trying out new things for the sake of the learning experience. i grew up a Windows kid, but Fedora has given me ample opportunity to learn the *nix and open source paradigms, as well as to get a feel for the open source community. i like it. i like it so much that i feel obligated to join and help out as much as i can. That said, my favorite programs (sci-tech related,) are Octave, gnuplot, Qucs, and the mother of my interests: the Root framework. I know Bash, C, Tex, and Python pretty well, and have at least workable knowledge of C++, Perl, Lisp, SQL, and web mark up languages.
I'd really like to help, but as of yet, i'm not quite sure how.
Daryl,
My name is Matthew Daniels, and I'm actually persuing a B.S. in Physics at Clemson University, in my Junior year. I joined this list a while ago and your email was the first activity I've seen. Not sure if it'd died off or just dormant for some reason I'm unaware of; either way, I wouldn't mind working on something either.
If you have any specific ideas on things you'd like to work on around the community, let me know and maybe I can help you get in touch with the right people. You're welcome to email me directly or find me (danielsmw) on Freenode. I usually hang out in #fedora-docs, around other places.
As a random suggestion, I know that there is an effort going on to package Sage (sagemath.org) for Fedora. Maybe that's something you'd be interested in helping with?
PS: If there really is someone listening on this list, please speak up. I'd love to hear from you. :-) - - -- --- ----- -------- ------------- --------------------- Matthew Daniels Fedora Project + danielsmw@gmail.com Clemson University + mdaniel@clemson.edu Home Page / Blog + danielsmw.fedorapeople.org + danielsmw.wordpress.com + people.clemson.edu/~mdaniel
