I work for [http://fedoraproject.org/ Fedora Project] as an translator & Ambassador.  I joined the company in February 2008 and until July 2010, I served as the [[Project Leader|Fedora Project Leader]] and chairman of the [[Board| Fedora Project Board]].  I also dabble in the following bits:
* The [[Docs Project | Documentation team]], as a writer, editor, and part-time balladeer
* Maintainer of fedora-release-notes and [[#Package_Maintenance|a few other useful packages]]
* Help with the [[Insight]] project
* Merciless and sometimes foolhardy [[wiki gardening]]
 
I help drive the [http://fredlug.tux.org/ Fredericksburg (VA) Linux Users Group]  (FredLUG), which meets twice monthly in my hometown.
 
I was a founding member of the [[Board|Fedora Project Board]], and served the community there from April 2006 to July 2007.

[[Category:Ambassadors from the USA]]
 
 
I'm currently a freshman at the [http://www.ku.edu/ University of Kansas], majoring in computer science. I was the [[Scholarship 2010|2010 recipient]] of the [[Scholarship|Fedora Scholarship]].
 
In high school, I was a prominent supporter of open source ideals, trying to use open source software in all that I did and explaining to those who asked what the benefits of the open source way are. I was a major part of the newspaper at my high school, acting as both the copy editor and webmaster ("the" being the most important word in that sentence &mdash; I didn't contribute as much as I liked to during my tenure on staff there).
 
== Major stuff I did ==
; Helped with the transition from MoinMoin to MediaWiki for fedoraproject.org/wiki.
: Looking back on it, I didn't help as much as I would have liked to. At the time, I knew zero Python, but I was able to help [[User:Mmcgrath|Mike McGrath]] and others understand the paradigms of MediaWiki and its syntax. I then helped the [[Docs Project]] and others with their own use cases for the wiki. Some call me the "wiki czar" (see [http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/fedora-wiki/2009-January/000089.html this mailing list post]), but I hardly think I deserve that "title." I currently put a significant amount of my Fedora-related focus to keeping the wiki a good place for collaboration within the Fedora Community, helping out where I can (and understand).
 
; Designed the current [[business cards]] used by Fedora contributors and wrote an application to generate them.
: I produced new, standardized versions of business cards for contributors. [http://ianweller.fedorapeople.org/business-cards/ Multiple versions were produced] based on feedback from the community. I then wrote a Python application, [http://fedorapeople.org/gitweb?p=ianweller/public_git/fedora-business-cards.git;a=summary fedora-business-cards], that downloads a contributor's data from FAS and automatically generates print-ready files for the front and back of the card.
 
; Provided a [[FedoraProject:Translating|sane system for translations on the wiki]].
: I ported some templates from [http://www.mediawiki.org/ mediawiki.org] to aide translators in keeping to a set scheme of how translated pages should be laid out on the wiki. Before this change, pages were laid out in different systems depending on the language they were in. The new system makes translated versions of pages easier to find and easier to contribute to.
 
== Major stuff I'm working on now ==
* Fedora brand guidelines update &mdash; [[User:Ianweller/Brand guidelines (draft)]]
* Running the logo@fedoraproject.org request queue
* Automating data analysis within free software communities &mdash; [http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=datanommer.git datanommer]
 
== Contact ==
* '''IRC''': ianweller on freenode &mdash; You can find me in most Fedora-related channels. I like to keep things out in the open, so please ask before you privately message me.
* '''Email''': ianweller@fedoraproject.org or iweller@redhat.com &mdash; prefer the fedoraproject.org email
