Hi,
I'm Mark Preston. I currently work for Oracle and have been been using various versions of fedora/redhat/enterprise linux for 8+ years. I currently use fedora 10 as my desktop system. I've been with several different groups within Oracle, currently i do advance support/bug diagnostics for a couple of our products.
I'm interested in assisting with bug screening for the fedora project. I haven't decided on what component to help with but would be welcome to suggestions or where needed most. It seems bug triage is a subset of what i do in my 9 to 5 job, so it should be a good fit.
My background includes a degree in computer science (many years ago) and can read code but prefer not to write code. The various hats i've worn over the years include system administration, networking, email systems (not exchange), database.
If you would like more info just ask.
Hi, Mark, and welcome to the group! I have approved your fedorabugs request so you will soon have triager powers :). The Wiki should include the information you need to start in on triaging: please let us know if you're unsure about anything or anything seems to be missing. We have meetings on Tuesday mornings (U.S. time) - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/Meetings - and we try to make Tuesday a 'triage day', including helping new BugZappers get started, so if you come along to #fedora-bugzappers after the meeting (or just any time on Tuesday) and ask, a few of us should be available to give you a hand getting started if you'd like that. Thanks for volunteering your time, we appreciate it!
