Self-Introduction: Neil Horman

[Neil Horman]

Hey all!
	My Name is Neil Horman and I'm interested in getting more involved in 
the open source community.  I've read the self introduction guide on 
fedora.redhat.com and am please to introduce...me :)

Name:
	Neil Horman
Location:
	Raleigh, North Carolina
Profession:
	Software Engineer
Employer:
	Red Hat

My Goals For Fedora:
	As far as the Fedora project as a whole goes, I'd like to see it move 
into a role that makes it the best Linux development platform in the 
world (i.e. the bleeding edge of application and kernel development). 
I'd like to see it have the most comprehensive package list of any 
distribution available, with documentation that accurately details the 
development state and stability of each package.
	Personally, I'd like to start using Fedora to build my experience in 
package development and maintenence.  In a former life I developed linux 
device drivers, and one day I would like to return to that, but before I 
do, I'd really like to get more involved in the community development 
process, so that if/when I take on more/other development roles, I have 
a good understanding of how the development/qa/release process works.

Historical Qualifications:
	My previous emplyoment was largely closed source, so I was afforded 
little opporunity to participate without making people (bosses) nervous. 
  However, in my personal time, I've manged to participate by submitting 
feature and bug fix patches to several projects, including ddd, 
ethereal, cscope, and a few (internally at Red Hat) for the kernel.  In 
my last job, I developed device drivers for network switches that ran 
embedded linux, so I have a strong interest in NIC driver development as 
well.  I've also tried to be active in comp.os.linux.development.* 
newsgroups.  I should have a number of entries in the archives... :)

I think thats about it.  I'll be posting my cscope rpm up here, as soon 
as I think its up to snuff (shouldn't be too long).  Thanks for your 
time, and I'm looking forward to getting more involved.
