Wow, so the fedora-test-list is not for the faint of heart! I have 24
new emails and I could only make heads or tails of about half of them.
I'm Elizabeth Ann West, a writer who lives just outside Charleston, SC
with my husband and an occasional visit from my adorable 8 year old
stepson. I am fairly new to Linux, about 6 months, but I'm very
enthusiastic. I joined Fedora Docs primarily as an editor, and also
contribute a great deal to my local LUG by planning outreach events
etc.
Please bear with me if it seems like I ask a ton of novice questions, or
ask you to explain acronyms. In some ways, I might even be a good idea
of the types of issues a teacher or other adult encountering the XO with
a fairly strong technological background will run into. :)
I will purchase my SD card tomorrow while I am out in town. After that,
I look forward to contributing as much as I can, and eventually helping
OLPC with some of the curriculum aspects of the XO.
Always Smiling,
Elizabeth Ann West
Eawest just about everywhere.... :)

Mine was waiting for me when I got home. Looking forward to getting
started playing around tonight.
I've been working on Linux for about ten years, doing system
administration, engineering, developing, and now consulting at Red Hat.
My girlfriend is a Montessori teacher and we're excited about looking
into how these could fit into that style of education. I also have
three young nephews and nieces that I'm looking forward to running it
by.
Michael.
