I am a member of the Documentation Project in Fedora.  I joined the Docs project in order to learn more about Fedora and to give back to the community. 


As my day job, I work in the Research Systems group at Purdue University.  My projects include our [http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor Condor] implementation and wrangling our students.
