new writer intro
Hello -
My name's Ria Caussyn. I'm in the US/Eastern Time Zone. I guess that would be
something like GMT -4 or -5. I'm a database administrator in the Tru64 unix
environment. I've also used Red Hat Enterprise 3.0 for Oracle production databases
and was quite pleased with the results. I've used unix/linux for over 10 years -
started using linux with the 50 floppy disk SLAC ware distribution. Almost all my
experience is from the user side - could probably use some more sysadmin experience. I
use Scientific Linux at home, which is basically Fedora 4. I'm kind of a jack of all
trades - java, apache, j2ee, perl, korn shell, C, fortran, oracle stuff, etc.
Writing - I've done some sports writing. I won't be useful for translation
because English (South Eastern US dialect, y'all) is the only language I know. Bad on
me. I'm told that I'm good at translating tech talk for managers.
Goals in Fedora Project - I don't have any specific goals. What motivates me is that
I've gotten a lot of use out of linux over the years and I'd like to give
something back.. and I would like to try my hand at technical writing.
Anyway, I hope the intro isn't too verbose.
