Hi Gary!
My name is Gary Lyons.
Nice to meet you. I'm Daniel Carrera. Most recently I've been working on
maintaining the website. Before I was active as a reviewer, and I hope
to go back to reviewing. I've also authored a couple of chapters :)
I just registered on the authors site, my user name is glyons.
I see Sigrid already gave you the Author role :-)
My background is in systems administration--UNIX, Windows, and SAP
applications. This said, I am quite familiar with technical
documentation--some good, some bad. In fact, some of it is valuable only
in the sense that it was delivered on recyclable media. You might gather
that I am not a fan of technical manuals that read like technical
manuals. I think it is important to keep the reader engaged.
:-)
My background is in mathematics. I've done a few years of graduate work
in math, and I spent about 7 years teaching math. Right now I'm working
for a small open source company that focuses on the school environment.
I think you'll enjoy working with us. We do have a strong focus on
making the text clear and readable. Plain English rulez! ;-)
I am most familiar with writer and calc. I have played around with draw
and base but haven't done anything that would resemble real work in them.
Good good.
I see that Jean has already given you all the initial instructions. But
I wanted to write to say "hi" and "welcome aboard!".
If you have any questions about the process, please please don't
hesitate to ask. We're a friendly group. The atmosphere here is relaxed
and positive. You'll like it. :-)
Please let me know what I can do to help. I'm afraid the only languages
I know are English, Perl, and ksh. Well, a little csh, but if it went
away quietly I wouldn't complain.
Heh. I know English, Spanish and Perl mostly. My current work involves
PHP, which is quite interesting.
Cheers,
Daniel.
