Hello everyone,

My name is James. I'm 36 years old and I live in Canada. I've been using Fedora full time since Fedora 21. I tend to bounce between GNOME and MATE. I've tried other distros but I always come back to Fedora. I've wanted to contribute to the Fedora Project for a long time but I wasn't really sure what I could do and if I had the skills to do it. I took Computer Systems Technology in College, many moons ago, which had a focus on computer systems, computer hardware, Linux, Microsoft and Cisco networking. I worked for about 2 years in I.T. after I graduated. For the last 12 years I've been working outside of the industry and my current focus has shifted more towards web design and development. (I've also reached out to the website team and hope to contribute there as well.) I have a strong love of open source and even as a web developer I try to use open source tools to do my job.

I've done some basic user testing and reported a few bugs on past Fedora releases. I'm interested in helping out in whatever way I can to the QA team and learning some new things along they way.

Looking forward to contributing and meeting some of you from the QA team.

James Hawkins
