Hello, My name is Rory Anthony O'Connor and I am looking to contribute towards a FOSS project with the purposes of learning, and giving back to the community. I am writing to ask how can I get started on this endeavour? I am willing to dedicate at least several hours a week of my time. I am also willing to help with documentation efforts.
A little bit about my background: Experience: Software Engineer with 8 years of PHP and MySQL experience. Location: Europe, but open to all remote opportunities. Projects: I have mostly worked on eCommerce sites, online casinos and back office applications. I have worked in roles having the titles of Backend Developer, Software Engineer and also ScrumMaster. Skills: Other than PHP and MySQL, I code in Java, C# and Python. Experienced with the usual HTML, CSS, JS front-end technologies. Comfortable user of Linux/Unix systems. Qualifications: - H. BSc. in Computer Science, graduated cum laude - Magento® Certified Developer - ScrumAlliance® Certified ScrumMaster Outside of the software world, I enjoy playing the guitar, I am an amateur birdwatcher and work on renovating my farm at the weekends. Though I have written some C programs in the past, I am hoping to expand my knowledge in this area. I have encountered wget in my travels so I am familiar with it from the user perspective. So, to summarise, how can I get started? Thank you in advance and I look forward to your reply. Kind Regards, Rory A. O'Connor
