1. Full legal name: Matthew Reid Hall
2. Country, City: UK, Leeds
3. Profession: IT Security Technician
4. Company: E-Commerce Security Consultants (ECSC) Ltd.

5. Goals in Fedora Project:

- Which packages do you want to see published?

In the short term:
Seahorse - GPG keymanager
Planner - Project management (old mrproject)
Inkscape - SVG image editor (sodipodi fork)
(I see some of these are already in testing (just checked))

Coming in the future (with a bit of polishing):
Pigeon - GTK2-based cd burner
gDesklets - Gnome desktop applets
Dashboard - Personal information association engine

- Do you want to do QA?

Given some free time, sure. I'll mostly be sticking to anything
gnome-related and x86 though.

- Anything else special?

I want to help with GNOME desktop integration. I mostly will focus on
the 'user-desktop experience' and try to make commonly required
applications available, easy to install/update and integrate well with
the desktop (small stuff like HIG compliance, menu items, mimetype
registration, etc).

6. Historical qualifications:

- What other projects have you worked on in the past?

I've maintained my own bleeding-edge gnome repository (mostly extra
packages and updates for rh 8/9 and fc1) for the last year and a half.
Previous to that, I spent time online helping some newbies figure out
linux whilst (missing) studying for my degree; so my rpms would be the
closest thing to a project, and the most major contribution to the
community I have made. 

- What computer languages and other skills do you know?

C, python, bash, sgml, docbook, html, php, sql (of varying ability).

- Why should we trust you?

If you can't trust a security 'expert', who can you trust? ;P
