Self-Introduction: John Babich

[Damien Durand]

Welcome to Fedora Docs

2006/8/12, John Babich <jmbabich at gmail.com>:
>
>     My name is John Babich.
>
>     I normally live and work near Baltimore, Maryland in the US.
> However, I'm temporarily working overseas as a GSM Reporting
> Manager with Norconsult Telematics. For the record, this is a
> volunteer effort in my spare time.
>
> My Goals and Qualifications
>
>     I would like to assist the Fedora Core Documentation Project
> in any way possible. My primary interest is in producing documents
> to help promote Fedora Core in particular and desktop Linux in
> general.
>
>     I'm a long-time user of Linux and I'd like to give something
> back in return. I see my role initially as an editor/proofreader,
> but can contribute some articles on the technical aspects of Linux.
>
>     I've spent the last 25 years working in some aspect of IT and,
> more recently, telecommunications. I ran my own LAN/WAN integration
> business and taught public seminars on local area and wide area
> networks. I also helped start one of the first NetWare user groups
> and was active in NetWare Users International.
>
>     I use Fedora Core as my everyday desktop. I take every
> opportunity to promote Fedora Core in my workplace and among
> my friends and family.
>
>     My current assignment requires me to do a great deal of
> technical writing. These are mostly project status reports in
> MS Office formats (Word, Excel and PowerPoint). I prefer to work
> in OpenOffice.org, but a guy's got to eat. I'm new to DocBook
> and I hope to be up-to-speed shortly, thanks to some great
> online documentation.
>
>     Despite the Novell connection, I prefer Fedora Core over
> SUSE. This is due to my good results with using Red Hat Linux,
> starting with version 5.0. I say this despite the good old days
> of using experimental (as in alpha, not beta) video and sound
> drivers to get a Linux desktop on my IBM ThinkPad.
>
>     Consequently, I feel I'm an excellent match due to my prior
> experience with user groups, long history of using Red Hat and
> Fedora Core, and my current experience with technical writing.
>
>     Even though I'm a brilliant monolinguist, I get excited at
> the thought of working on a global multilingual project like
> Fedora Core.
