Hi all! I’m very interested in getting involved in the Infrastructure group. I’ve been holding off on this for over a year, waiting to have “more time”, but figured I may as well jump in and start small, maybe 3-5 hours per week?
My IRC nick is ks3. I’ve been using Linux since around 1997, and professionally since 1998. Most of that has been RPM based distributions, starting with SuSE but fairly quickly moving to Red Hat, then RHEL and CentOS, and even Oracle Linux. At home, I’m using Fedora on my servers, including a cluster of Intel NUCs that host KVM machines on GlusterFS. At $work, I head up a team of Linux admins responsible for around 800 servers, including some smallish HPC environments. I *had* the RHCE certification until it expired earlier this year. I’m scheduled to take the RHEL8 exams in April 2020. I have a good amount of scripting experience; lately it’s mostly been bash, with Python where SOAP calls or other harder-to-do in bash things were needed. I’m also fairly fluent with Perl. I’m also familiar with Puppet (and using Vagrant to test Puppet code, and Git to manage the Puppet modules), and to a smaller degree Ansible. In addition to getting involved and giving back to the project (I also work at a non-profit, so that’s a bit of a theme...) I’m excited about learning how a different environment works and the tech that goes along with it. My main interests at the moment are probably Python and automation. I see that the Getting Started page mentions a special interest in people with web application skills; that’s definitely not my strong suit, but it is also an interest. I’ve looked through a few of the “Easyfix” issues, and a few do look interesting. But at a few hours per week they all look like they’d take a month or more to complete, so I don’t really have a good idea of whether those are a good starting point or not. I’m definitely open to suggestions on this. -- kevin _______________________________________________ infrastructure mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]
