Self-introduction: Dustin Peet

Hello All, My name is Dustin and joining this project is long overdue. Short story is that I'm a Math/CS college grad that learned on Debian and KDE back in the early 2ks. Eventually saw the light and gravitated toward the Red Hat family once I went into the professional world a few years later. Currently, I serve as the Network Manager for a company based out of the midwest and manage a coast-to-coast network of ~70 sites and a team of 2 Net Engineers and 2 Net Admins. My skills are heavily based in layers 1-4 but I really love testing different distros as well as writing code. Python is obviously a big time suck for me (this includes web frameworks such as django and flask) but I've got a very well-rounded background in systems-admin as well (MS server flavors specifically). Recently, I've finally talked the powers-that-be at my job to let my laptop refresh come bare metal and I've placed Fedora on it. Life is good minus a few caveats but I'll definitely stick with the shift and hopefully convince a few others to hop on as well. In the spirit of FOSS I'd like to start giving back. The easy fit for me is in QA but really that can and probably should propagate into other areas such as a package maintainer, tech writer, Fed Magazine or whatever else is needed by the project. Suffice it to say, I'm really looking forward to this and I'm anxious to help give back to a community that I've used personally and professionally for so long now. I look forward to working with you all! Cheers!
