Greetings to all of the developers, As per the squid website, I am taking a moment to introduce myself to the list. My name is Nicholas Ritter, I am a network/systems engineer working for a small retail chain in the Midwest of the US. I have been using Linux since about 1997 and squid since about 2003. I have deployed squid with .pac type deployments and transparent deployments for cross-platform clients on networks between several hundred and several thousand client computers. I have been working here for about 4 years and we just started an initial deployment of squid to our remote locations using squid 2.6 in conjunction with Cisco WCCP. I have begun to work with Squid 3 HEAD about 4 days ago because of a need to do TProxy client spoofing and a set of local websense reps who are not responsive with websense/squid integration. If testing/deployment does not work with squid 3HEAD and TProxy for some reason, we will resort to Websense/Squid integration. I would like to help the squid project by doing testing, documentation, possibly web site work. My coworkers tell me I am good at writing easy to understand documentation. I have some formal training in programming. Our network here is grouped such that I can do various levels of testing without drastically changing/impacting the system as a whole. I have increasingly tighter systems monitoring as well, including NetFlow based monitoring, SAA/RTR based monitoring, CACTI based monitoring, and Argent. I hope to be able to help the project and help pay back the time and positive attitude of those already involved. PS: Sorry if this message arrives to the list twice. I sent it initially before list subscription and the message bounced.
Nick
