 Hi all!


 Linux and Fedora are relatively new to me and so is ICT. As translator, I
don't yet know what aspects of the Fedora Project would interest me most.
Although the translation of material related to my areas of specialization
interests me (programs for amateur and professional musicians, electronic
dictionaries, translation software, applications for foreign language
training, etc.), I would also be interested in translating more technical
documentation on various ICT-related topics. I will be studying computer
science at the local university here in Montpellier from September 2007 and
would like my work for the project to be both a contribution and a learning
experience.


 In addition to having an excellent working knowledge of general
applications (word processing, spreadsheets, multimedia applications,
Internet, etc.) and typing from 50 to 60 words per minute, I am learning
more and more about Linux, scripts, UNIX commands and some basic programming
in C++, and am really enjoying it all.


 I am looking forward to participating in the Fedora Translation Project and
eager to becoming more involved in the Fedora community!


 John


 P.S. - I need cvsdocs membership approval (see below) and may need some
help getting started as well. Many thanks.
