Thread: Self-introduction for Fedora documentation project




Self-introduction for Fedora documentation project
user name
2007-12-20 08:47:53
Hello,

My name is Marcel Lambert. I became a practitioner of Linux due
to internet security reasons with the release of Red Hat 9 and since then I live with
it and maintain occasional notes at http://netston.tripod.com/Windows_Linux.htm.
When choosing OS I am a conservative (you can call me rational minority), and
I use both Linux and Windows and live with advantages and disadvantages
of both.

Originally, I got closely acquainted with computers about 25 year ago being a
student in natural sciences, and moved to IT entirely shortly after. I
designed and developed software, managed numerous IT projects. A turning point
in my career was in Tradescape.com, later purchased by E*Trade, where
I had managed a project (and was a key architect/developer) for MTrade platform
for trading stocks on NASDAQ/NYSE.

My internet nickname is ARMADILLO, and I am interested in writing
about security topics and all the things in Fedora that help adventurous,
safety-demanding armadillos explore the world with Linux

A+

Marcel, great to meet you.  There are several guides being
worked on
right now that include security topics, including the
Administration
Guide.  Bart Couvreur heads up the work on that particular
document, so
I'm sure he'll be glad to give you a shout and direct you to
where he
could use some help.  If you have problems or questions,
please let us
know on the list and we'll be glad to help you out.  You can
also find
us on IRC at FreeNode, on channel #fedora-docs.

Glad to have you aboard.  As someone interested in security,
would you
be interested in getting involved by updating our SELinux
FAQ for Fedora
8 and beyond?  It has not really been updated since Fedora
Core 5, but
that doesn't mean there's necessarily a huge amount of
material to add.
Mainly it needs someone to go over it, compare it with some
of the other
available SELinux pages on the wiki:

  http://fedorapr
oject.org/wiki/SELinux 

...and make the FAQ agree.  I think Marc was working on this
but he
could probably use some extra hands.  Please take a look at
our style
guide so that you can learn to approximate the tone we shoot
for in our
documents:

  
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/StyleGuide 

If you have anything else in mind to do, please feel free to
talk about
it here.  Again, welcome!
