Hello all,
My name is David Shier and I am coming back to fedora admin after a
year or two away. My iRC nick is odin2016. Up until about a month and a
half ago, I worked for Jackson in the US as a number of things, but
most relevant to this is my last two positions, as an admin on their
UNIX team, supported our RHEL (5,6,7) and AIX estates, and working in
on the more or less server operations team as a senior associate with
root access to the production environment. I am familiar with bash,
python, and perl, as well as Ansible, which I used at work and at home.
I'd like to improve my Ansible and python skills, as well as just
keeping my self sharp while I search for a job after my recent move to
Germany. As would be expected I am a linux user at home, having used
redhat/centos, Debian/ubuntu, and Archlinux, as well as a number of
forks of each, Fedora included, but I am also a distro hopper and am
currently messing around with elementary on my laptop, and once the
rest of my stuff gets here... whenever that is.... i'll be reimaging
the raspberry pi and tossing awx on there. At my last job I worked a
good bit with RHDS, and passing data into it from Active Directory, as
I have experience on both sides of that fence as well. I'm sure there
things here I could say, and probably should, but i've also blocked out
large bits of the last year or so, so there is that.
There are a number of tickets that I would *like * to work on, but
before i get to deep into that I need to go and read up on how thiings
int eh infra have changed since I last took a look, clone the ansible
repo and read though there, and so on. I also think I saw something
about updating somethings to python 3, or making sure they will work. I
may take a look at those as well. I thought I saw something about the
bots as well, but now I don't so may be I am crazy. I have worked with
them before, so if I see it I may just grab it.
I should be at the meeting Thursday (I have a thing at 17:00 CEST),
unless I did the math on time offset really wrong or something, and
will get myself added to the goby doc in the next little bit here.
If someone could pop me back into fi-apprentice, that would be great..
fas is odin2016 as well.
Thanks,
Dave Shier
