[[Self Introduction]]


Over the holiday and through the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs_Project_Holiday_Virtual_Hackfest hackfest] and [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon/FUDConF11 FUDcon], I will add tips and reminders here.

I am a member of the [[Ambassadors]] group.  When I looked at the list of Ambassadors way back when, I was surprised at how few were from North Carolina.  I also found that I could answer yes to all three of the questions raised that were then on the [[Ambassadors/Join | join]] page (the processes have changed with time and growth). As an Linux instructor in my $dayjob I already did (and still do) many of the other tasks listed under how to be an active ambassador.

==Self Introduction - a.k.a "How I got here"==
<!--
Greetings,
 
I had been meaning to get more involved with fedoraproject for a while before I finally made the commitment. For all that I use and recommend opensource, this is the first project I actually joined (better late then never I guess).
 
I am interested in all things related to learning and teaching - documentation, planning, consulting, corporate training, university settings, and youngsters too.
 
I have been a contract instructor for Red Hat since 2000 and involved in network operating system support and training since 1992 (and *nix user even longer). I have contributed to Red Hat course materials including general bug reports, testing updated labs, contributing to online course content and videos, updating existing courses, and providing content for the first release and later updates of Red Hat Academy materials (with docbook). I also teach courses related to other Linux distributions and general computing security topics.  In addition to teaching formal classes, I also do some consulting and really enjoy the short assignments that are often mostly an informal skill transfer.
 
I started with the docs project because it seemed that I had most of the skills needed, felt confident that I could quickly pick up the remaining skills, and it seemed to be the most flexible on time commitments.  I had taught and used cvs and seen subversion so I quickly figuring out the basics of using git. I was new to wiki syntax and irc etiquette but I after poking around and reading some of the intro and FAQ docs I quickly felt comfortable with those tools as well.
 
I am interested in learning new software through the infrastructure team and expanding my rpm packaging skills.
