Hey Team,
I've been really inspired this week by the GNU 30 stuff going on around
the world and have decided to take a more active role in GNU/Linux.
A little bit about me:
I am 25 and I live in Cincinnati, OH. I moved to the US from Azerbaijan
when I was 6 and I speak Russian fluently. I spent 5 years in the US
Navy as a medic. I currently work for a software company (oncology
specialty) as a technical consultant (do mostly database work,
documentation, requirements, interfaces). I have a BS in psychology and
am working on an MS specializing in database systems. I want to continue
on and finish my PhD.. I am very interested in databases. I am currently
researching column oriented database technology, specifically MonetDB.

I have been using GNU/Linux since 2003, starting with Suse 8 moving to
Ubuntu 4.10-8.04 and I have been using debian testing since 2008. I
tried gNewSense 2.4 briefly a few years ago and also used and
contributed a little bit to the documentation of Trisquel. I firmly
believe in the philosophy, benefits, and promise of free software and I
want to do anything I can to contribute.
What I want to do:
I want to play an active development role in gNewSense , this will
require some learning on my part. Based on the role description on the
gnewsense dev page....
"*Skills you possess or want to learn*
Python, C, bash, GNU tools, DEB/Packaging, Bugfiling"
>> I know a little bit of python but I am currently learning more
(mainly as a way to access mysql)
>> I don't know any C but have always wanted to learn it
>> I am comfortable in bash
>> I am comfortable with most GNU tools
>> I have done some Debian packaging, but need more work
>> I am good at bug filing (I do it at work!)
In short, what I lack in technical experience I make up for in
enthusiasm and a willingness to learn. :) I hope that you will allow me
to be a part of your community and I cannot wait to dive in, learn more,
and make gnewsense the distro of choice!
All the best,
Lev Lazinskiy
