Good evening.
I couldn't be more excited to jump in here. I am new to the open/free software arena, and I love it here.
My only gripe so far has been the glut of programmerese and the lack of plain english. I was almost ready to start doing some serious griping when I learned that I could actually take part.
My background:
- Decent experience in proprietary office software.
- Advanced technical writing class with Bus Degree.
- New to open software, but very intuitive.
- New to Linux, lo mismo.
- Tech sales in rural community - very good at translating computerese into goodolfolksish.
- 80% of my programming knowledge picked up in the last 6mos.
Recently been playing with:
- more serious HTML
- XML
- Unpacking & repacking .odt's
- starving for automated .od(x) handling especially b/t .odt and webpages
To know about me:
- I jump in the deep end.
- I jump into a conversation without looking.
- If I sound like I don't get it, then I probably don't. Just tell me.
- I don't always pick up on subtlety, and don't worry about hurting my feelings.
I'm in if you want me. Pass the roles?
