Goals:
I have done much writing and editing and have had over 50 articles published 
in mostly hard copy magazines. I am highly interested in writing about 
Fedora and also programming, and games, and Wireless Internet. I have 
specific knowledge on the installs on stand alone machines. I am willing to 
write whatever is needed to help out.

Id like to see more documentation on installs, setting up wireless, and 
other subjects, and id also like to see the accuracy of these documents 
remain very, very high, both in spelling and in grammar.

I have an ambition to help out as much as i can. I love Linux and want to 
spread the word about how great Linux is, at the same time as making it more 
accessible to the general public. Part of the problems lie in the complex 
nature of Linux and the huge number of separate resources needed to solve 
problems. Id like to see these issues resolved and brought closer together 
so that the resources can be found in one specific location, the Linux 
Documentation Project. I want to see as many come over from Microsoft as is 
possible to increase the numbers of users on Linux accessing great open 
source applications.

Qualifications:
10 GCSE's - Notable A+ Information and Communications Technology, A -

14 years computer experience in building, repairing, upgrading PC's. Moved 
into VB programming 7 years ago, moved onto C++, and am self teaching game 
programming, and Perl and PHP. Started playing with Linux distros last year, 
and work with Fedora Core 5. I have also started becoming highly active on 
FedoraForum.org, and am looking to start Software testing for future OS's 
and Editing for Fedora Documentation Project.

Due to my long experience as a freelance journalist and sub-editor i feel 
like i can bring much to the project. I have a love for Fedora, Linux and 
for the writing process. I enjoy all the aspects of working with Linux. I 
have lots of qualification and experience with Media, and Journalism (Did my 
first year on Journalism). My long experience with Operating Systems and 
Hardware, i have a technical knowledge that will enhance the documentation 
further.
