5. Your goals in the Fedora Project
* Which packages do you want to see published?
Being a Gnome fan, I'd like to see the remaining pieces of Gnome
desktop environment (including many interesting 3rd party/5th
toe applications) published, especially in the legally
questionable multimedia front.
I'm also interested in getting more translation-related tools in
the Fedora Project (Core or Extras).
* Do you want to do QA?
Actually, I'm very interested in doing QA (time permitting),
however, I think it'll only be an observing and learning
experience for me at first.
* Anything else special?
I'm mostly interested in building a unified platform for desktop
software on Linux (and possibly some variants of *BSD) with
common standards recognised by the F/OSS community. Yeah, you
guessed correctly, I'm talking about the freedesktop.org effort.
Personally, I think we should also increase our advocacy
efforts, especially with regards to various hardware vendors,
which haven't integrated themselves in the open source
development ecosystem (yet). Getting proper (dare I say
"bleeding-edge") hardware support would open inroads to the home
desktop market with its special needs (hardcore 3d gaming,
multimedia authoring). I know some things are already there and
many efforts are under way, but I think it wouldn't hurt to push
it a little bit more ;)
6. Historical qualifications
* What other projects have you worked on in the past?
I've joined the Slovenian Gnome translation team in the Gnome
2.0 time-frame and I'm still helping out with the i18n efforts.
The truth is, I've only switched to Linux full-time during the
RHL 7.2 release cycle, so I'm still pretty new around here.
However, in effort to learn as much as I can, I've been closely
following the RHL (and later FC) development since the 7.3 beta
cycle.
* What computer languages and other skills do you know?
I'm a beginner in C and Python and somewhat better at html and
php. I've also been poking my nose into C# (and Mono platform).
I'm a bit more proficient when it comes to i18n-related issues
and unicode.
* Why should we trust you?
Actually, you shouldn't :) I just hope I'll be able to gain my
trust through my contributions to the community.
