Hi everyone,<br><br>Here is a little about me.<br><br>My
 name is Matthew Whittle and I currently work as a senior application 
developer at VSP (Vision Service Plan) - it is eye insurance.  I have a 
lovely wife and no kids (yet!).  We live in Sacramento California in the
 US and I heard about this project through someone at JBoss at the 
JavaOne conference in San Francisco.  At my current work I develop 
backend services for our membership using Java and Websphere and for fun
 I develop games for the iPhone (I have about 8 out now).  I have been 
using Fedora at home for about 5 years now.  <br>
<br>I joined this group because I have a desire to build a 3D operating 
system.  By tomorrow.  Just kidding.  Yes I know that is a huge task but
 I thought I could start small by making a 3D desktop background...  or 
maybe I should start even smaller.  But at least you know my short and 
long term goals.  <br>


<br>My IRC handle I believe is MattWhCaUs (it is the nickname I used)<br><div id=":13k">

<br>Cool beans - looking forward to hearing from y&#39;all.  <br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Matthew Whittle
