Hello,
My name is Jason Shive and I am interested in helping out on the
Fedora project on the Infrastructure team. I have a bit more than 5
years of System Administration in a large, enterprise environment.
Currently it stands at around 2000 servers, mostly RHEL, with some
Solaris and HPUX scattered about. My skills are mostly related to
troubleshooting. I lead the problem resolution team at the office
responsible for Break/Fix of the environment. I enjoy troubleshooting
issues and always look forwards to the head-scratchers that seem to
cause the greatest problems. I've been doing administration in this
environment for more than 5 years, but have yet to do anything I could
consider a specialization. I've been using linux, specifically Red Hat
Linux since college and always enjoyed messing around with it. My
current focus is virtualization with RHEV and have been focused on
that as well as cloud services for a while. I'm also into programming
language, though I can not program much with many of them. I'm
currently using all the perl, php, and python I can work into my daily
needs. I use whatever language I can (including shell scripting) to
automate whatever I can for my team at work. I enjoy automating tasks
almost as much as I enjoy pizza, and I really like pizza.
As far as what I can do for the team, I don't really know a whole lot
about what the team does. I'm fairly comfortable managing systems
(day-to-day tasks or processing changes to those systems),
troubleshooting issue, testing fixes, or pretty much whatever use I
can be. Lately I've been hanging out in the #fedora channel (Nick:
Klainn) trying to answer the questions that are asked. I'm willing to
help out as needed and can dedicate time to projects I may be
assigned. I've never been great at random introductions via email, so
if there's something specific you'd like to know, just ask.
Thanks for reading.
