Hi all
My name is David (Dave) van Zijl. I've been using Linux on and off over the past 12 years in both development and system administration roles. I spent the last 3 years helping to grow and manage an installation of 200+ RHEL servers for hosting live web content as well as development and test tools.
My skills include Puppet, X.509 PKI and some of the usual suspects like Apache, Memcached & MySQL. I'm moderately handy with one or two scripting languages including Python and I've packaged a number of rpms for in-house use. I've done a few years as a C programmer but probably not enough to dive into the kernel or anything!
Skills I would like to improve: General Linux administration (there's always more to learn), SE Linux, virtualisation, networking.
Like most people that I imagine introduce themselves here, I'm not quite sure where to start. I'll hang around and see how thing work for a while before attempting anything. Keen to start small and go from there.
Please feel free to contact me about anything either by email or on irc.freenode: davevz
Kind Regards Dave

Welcome David!
If you haven't already, please do take a look at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/GettingStarted
Are you more interested in sysadmin tasks or application development?
I look forward to talking to you on IRC.

Hi Kevin
Thanks for the welcome. I'm more interested in sysadmin tasks / infrastructure related stuff but am more than happy to poke my nose into any development tasks that need doing if it'll take a while for me to become trusted enough with any logins anywhere!
