Hello to everyone on this project. First of all, I hope you can understand my English (I have a personal promise of training it every day).
My name is Edith Rivero, i am a peruvian woman who is engaged into Open Source since 2010 but just like an user, willing someday participating in a real way. Sincerely it was really great for me that the past FUDCON took place on my city (Cusco). Participating as a helper in the conference encouraged me to look for a project to contribute with. I choosed Documentation Project because through documents i could be better involved into Fedora and maybe later join to another project :)
What other projects or writing have you worked on in the past?
This would be my first time participating on writing, but during my university times I have participated using Latex tool to transcrive some papers. Some other projects I worked on, were those related to information security. This is an interesting field for me, so if I could choose to start any documentation I would like to start in this field. But of course, I will work willingly in any documentation required to be done.
What level and type of computer skills do you have?
I hope to measure it well. I did most of my programming activities on Java, so i would say i have an intermediate level. Also, I got involved to Php, XML (both intermediae level), Python (basic level) and databases MySQL, PosgreSQL (both intermediate level) and Oracle (basic level). During my last job I also used tools of Lotus Notes.
What other skills do you have that might be applicable?
Well, I have soft-called skills analytical skills, technical skills in programming and training skills (my actual job is teaching in an IT technical school on the University). Also I can understand things easyly and I like to investigate.
What makes you an excellent match for the project?
My perseverance and my dedication are some of my qualities I am going to maintain through this project. Maybe I will have to confront with some tools or kind of work that i never used to, but i like challenging things and I will make my best effort to solve this in the way it is expected.
How much time you can contribute (usually hours per week)?
I measured my time, and i decided to contribute 6 hours a week to begin.
