Hello everyone!
I wanted to introduce myself, sart, and offer my assistance as a new
volunteer with the Fedora Infrastructure Group. I volunteered very briefly
approx. 11/11 - 1/12 and hope to stick around much longer this time.
IRC handle: sart (can't remember my old handle last time I volunteered, so
this is a new one)
skills: I am currently attending Boston University Metro. College online,
part-time, working toward MSCIS with security concentration. My skills are
limited at this point, but include CentOS/RHEL basic administration tasks, good
grasp of using CLI, VIM, basic BASH scripting, basic admin tasks, system
configuration, backups, basic concepts of intrusion detection and prevention,
hardening systems...
What I'd like to work on: this ticket piques my interest
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/833 (intrusion detection
system) or https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/2455 (SSL
redirect bug), anything related to security, system administration (scripting,
security, backup/restore, account management, networking, etc.-- any skills
that are useful for someone focusing on security). I also really want to
develop my programming skills (my experience is mostly in Java, so I am
interested in Java or Python, Perl, PHP-- I want to finally get a chance to go
beyond 'beginner' in at least one of the languages above and prove to myself
that I can get good at it)
I'm currently unemployed, looking to develop a foundation of solid skills which
will help me transition as a career-changer back into the IT field, so anything
in addition to skill interests I listed above which can help me get my foot in
the door somewhere can be added to the list.
Thanks in advance for your patience with neophytes like myself!
