Shy mostly, and busy! I really haven't said much because it's been quiet and nobody else has. > In the unlikely case that you have no questions and are well on your way > to contributing to Fedora, I'll request you to at least send the list an > e-mail introducing yourself.

We are primarily a Windows shop, but I've been somewhat successful in bringing more Linux systems into what we do. I've been using Linux since 2003-ish, started with Red Hat 9 and have used most distributions for at least a short while. Primarily servers but I've used it long term on the desktop (/laptop) as well. Right now I am involved in Freemedia. It was an easy group to join and get my foot in the door. I am interested in getting involved in Infra, but haven't really made the jump into introducing myself there. Mostly because I don't know where to start. My reasons for wanting to get into Infra are the overall interest in contributing to the magic side of things people only see when broken, but I have a selfish motivation of wanting to learn more about Linux system administration in a production environment, and also things like puppet which I haven't gotten around to playing with on my own, myself. I'd also like to learn Python, I haven't had the proper motivation of projects to do so on my own.
