1. Full legal name: Tadej Janež 2. Country, City: Slovenia, Ljubljana 3. Student status: Final year of Secondary School 4. School: Gimnazija Bežigrad Secondary School (http://www.gimb.org/sola/myp/) 5. Your goals in the Fedora Project * Which packages do you want to see published? Being a Gnome fan, I'd like to see the remaining pieces of Gnome desktop environment (including many interesting 3rd party/5th toe applications) published, especially in the legally questionable multimedia front. I'm also interested in getting more translation-related tools in the Fedora Project (Core or Extras). * Do you want to do QA? Actually, I'm very interested in doing QA (time permitting), however, I think it'll only be an observing and learning experience for me at first. * Anything else special? I'm mostly interested in building a unified platform for desktop software on Linux (and possibly some variants of *BSD) with common standards recognised by the F/OSS community. Yeah, you guessed correctly, I'm talking about the freedesktop.org effort. Personally, I think we should also increase our advocacy efforts, especially with regards to various hardware vendors, which haven't integrated themselves in the open source development ecosystem (yet). Getting proper (dare I say "bleeding-edge") hardware support would open inroads to the home desktop market with its special needs (hardcore 3d gaming, multimedia authoring). I know some things are already there and many efforts are under way, but I think it wouldn't hurt to push it a little bit more ;) 6. Historical qualifications * What other projects have you worked on in the past? I've joined the Slovenian Gnome translation team in the Gnome 2.0 time-frame and I'm still helping out with the i18n efforts. The truth is, I've only switched to Linux full-time during the RHL 7.2 release cycle, so I'm still pretty new around here. However, in effort to learn as much as I can, I've been closely following the RHL (and later FC) development since the 7.3 beta cycle. * What computer languages and other skills do you know? I'm a beginner in C and Python and somewhat better at html and php. I've also been poking my nose into C# (and Mono platform). I'm a bit more proficient when it comes to i18n-related issues and unicode. * Why should we trust you? Actually, you shouldn't :) I just hope I'll be able to gain my trust through my contributions to the community. 7.
