Unfortunately there is not that much of a linux community here in my area. When someone is using linux, it is mostly Ubuntu or some derived version of it. My plan is to introduce Fedora to some folks here and show some presence of a very strong distro. They have got to notice that Ubuntu is not the only modern desktop linux distribution. I also would like to help at events like linuxtag where applicable. As a visitor i have been to the linuxtag for four years now, and i think it's a great gathering of linux enthusiasts. I started using Linux in 1999 with SuSE Linux 6.2 because i always loved messing around with my PC system and trying something new. Later then i mostly used debian and ubuntu. Now in 2008 i started using / working with Fedora and i found it to be a very nicely designed system and a community which i would truly enjoy working with, so i joined the fedora-de irc channel and talked to some people ;-) Some of my skills which are probably of interest to the Fedora community: - Fluent in English, German is my mother-tongue - Programming skills: Strong knowledge of design patterns, Java, C/C++, Python, Ruby, Shell scripting - Strong knowledge of Software Engineering processes (through University) - Have used many linux distributions, so i can certainly compare things if someone asks me what the differences are e.g. between Ubuntu and Fedora - I love working with other people. - Willing to dedicate some time to open source projects ( i think that's a basic requirement ;-)) If you need more informations, please let me know! I'm looking forward to working with you ;-) Kind Regards, Andreas -- Fedora-ambassadors-list mailing list <a href="mailto:Fedora-ambassadors-list@redhat.com">Fedora-ambassadors-list@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-ambassadors-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-ambassadors-list</a> </blockquote></div> -- Nayyar Ahmad RHCE (ID:804006858622745) Skype: nayyares Blog: <a href="http://nayyares.blogspot.com">nayyares.blogspot.com</a>
