Intro & observations

Hi, my name is Alejo Cerrato, and I'm Marketing Director of a medium size company in SoFla. I'm very interested in improve my skills on Linux and colaborate with the Fedora Project. So far I've found that if you are not very skilled in Linux it is hard to follow all the steps as they are indicated to succesfully become a contributor. And I guess that there may be people willing to colaborate, but without the minimum Linux skills to do so. For some reason (and I'm not trying to get any help here in this list) I can't validate my CLA. I wonder how many people got discouraged in becoming a contributor because of the complexity of the process, and the intrinsec bureaucracy. I understand at the same time that it has to be done in a secure environment. I'm going to keep on trying and get my CLA validated asap. But at the same time I'll like to help make this process easier for the contributors-to-be, people that may lack Linux knowledge but have other skills that could help. AlejoCerrato.//
