Re: Meeting Agenda Item: Introduction James Cassell

Hello, I'm a systems administrator for my day job. I'm currently working on using ansible to automate machine provisioning and management in a vmware virtualized environment. The linux machines are mostly CentOS 6 with some CentOS 7 and a couple RHEL 6 boxes. These are in a predominantly windows environment, with Microsoft Active Directory domains. (In a previous job, I worked with chef in a debian environment.) I'm hoping to help out any way I can and "learn by doing." I'm specifically looking to do tasks with ansible and to learn best practices. I have not been active with Fedora for several years, but in the past, I've helped with the wiki, submitted lots of bodhi feedback, and helped with testing releases. Outside of Fedora, I've contributed an implementation of the sieve imap4flags extension to the cyrus imapd project. This was mostly done in C, but also included a bit of yacc/bison... I'm competent at programming but haven't done much of it as a day job. I expect I will end up learning python as it's becoming ubiquitous. IRC Handle: cyberpear I look forward to helping and learning! I've also just joined the fi-apprentice group and am looking around.
