Hello folks,
I'd like to participate in this project. :) Okay, here's the formal info
the web page asks for:
1. Full Legal name:
Nathan Ehresman
2. Location:
Upland, IN USA
3. Profession or Student status:
Assistant Computing and Resource Manager
4. Company or School:
Computer and System Sciences department of Taylor University
5. Goals:
- I'm interested in working with the Fedora Legacy project, in particular
on support for Red Hat 9. We run lots of Red Hat 9 boxen and as such I
am very keen on having security patches for our software available.
- I am not very interested on doing QA work because of time constraints.
6. Historical qualifications:
Hmm. I am not too fond of talking myself up but as this was requested here
goes.
Projects I've worked on in the past:
- Co-founded the SquirrelMail project with my brother back in the fall of
1999.
- Worked on the Centrallix application server and created a rough proof
of concept IDE for it called bojangles.
- Added reverse connections (server to client) for the Unix
implementation of VNC summer of 2000. Submitted it to the list but as
far as I am aware of it was never put into the main tree.
- Added better logging of LDAP connection attempts that fail over to a
slave OpenLDAP server to Samba. Submitted to samba-devel but was not
put into tree.
- Implemented PAM support for CVS several years ago that is used
internally by our university. Since there were other implemenations
available I never posted patches to the list.
Computer langauges/skills:
- Been using Linux since 1996.
- I've been administering a network of 65 Linux clients and 8 servers for
the past 3 years.
- I worked for 2 years doing full time Java client development.
- I know C, C++, Perl, Bash, Java, etc.
Why should you trust me?
Through work, I have a vested interest in maintaining support for Red Hat
9.
Thanks for listening.
