Hi everyone. I've been hanging around the leaf-user list for over a year now, and a couple of weeks ago Mike Noyes asked me if I was interested in joining the LEAF developers' group. Now I'm back from my holiday (Glastonbury music festival) I'm here to introduce myself.
I'm the quality manager for a small independent testing laboratory in northern England, which basically means I'm in charge of the company's quality accreditation (UKAS / ISO 17025). Because this is a small business, I'm also in charge of IT and communications, which is where I first encountered LEAF (and so first had a proper go at Linux) about 18 months ago. As far as Linux experience goes, besides running LEAF at work, at home and at a few friends' homes, I've been doing a lot of reading over the past 6 months, to try to Learn Linux properly. Still, I feel very much like a beginner, especially compared with some of the people that seem to be involved with LEAF. As for more general computer experience, I've quite a bit of experience in a number of Windows variants, at work mainly, but at home I use Apple Mac's almost exclusively. I was a bit of an expert at using Classic Mac OS and am slowly coming to terms with the new BSD-like Unix-based version, Mac OS X. Apart from all that, I've done a fair bit of website and graphic design (Dreamweaver and Firworks) for a hobby and am generally quite pleased with the results. My latest project is at http://www.jubileemyarse.com/boarders I've been exploring the leaf sourceforge website to see how I might be able to help. Since my job has given me a fair bit of experience in writing, editing and converting technical documentation and I'm already quite familiar with DocBook XML, I was thinking that perhaps working on documentation for LEAF would be the best way I could help. Perhaps I should start by converting some existing docs, then take things from there. If you have suggestions which docs to start with, please let me know, otherwise I'll just dive in. regards Julian Church ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Caffeinated soap.
