Self-introduction: Tom Gier

[Damien Durand]

Hi Thomas, welcome to fedora docs;-)

> Hi list members,
>
> Let me introduce myself: My name is Thomas Gier (Tom is just fine).
>
> I'm 39 years old and live near Aachen (Germany), which is a very old and
> very beautiful city right at the border to The Netherlands. During my
> studies in the previous century (engineering and some terms in communication
> science) I started working as a technical writer. Currently I work for a big
> german company (Siemens) and write manuals for unified messaging systems. In
> one of my former employments I wrote documentation for a CMS and worked as a
> trainer.
>
> I'm familiar with DocBook - although a bit rusty after not using it for
> about 2 years - and did some stylesheet customising to fit my needs. Nothing
> extraordinary just a bit here and there.
>
> Since I just switched to Fedora I think it would be best to start with
> some translations to German. Writing new or maintaining existing documents
> would definitely be an option when I'm more familiar with Fedora (although I
> doubt that my English skills are good enough for writing new documents). I
> tried to register to the Fedora-trans-list but didn't get any answer yet so
> I'm writing to this list. Hopefully this is roughly the right spot but I
> think I need some advise on how to proceed.
>
> IMHO the best point to start translating would be the installation guide.
> I already have a GPG key and I think I completed the procedure to get CVS
> and bugzilla accounts; will chekc this later on. The next steps, I suppose,
> would be to get the english version, translate it, and check it back in to
> CVS. Is there a special module or repository for translated docs? Is there
> even one for german?
>
> Thanks for reading so far. Please feel free to give advise, point me to
> the right direction, say hello, ask questions ... :)
>
> Best Regards
> Tom
