Figured that as a new Ambassador, I'd just drop a quick note to the list to introduce myself.

I'm a 28 year old systems architect from Jersey City, NJ. Mostly during my work life I work with very high-end production systems, all running RHEL. At home, I use Fedora for my desktop, and try to advocate other people to do it. I'm an RHCE [1] who's actively working on RHCA.

Welcome to the Fedora Ambassador from another East Coaster.

I attend at least two events every months (NYLUG [2] and the New York Linux Meetup [3]). There are others that I would get involved with as I get time and am informed of them. At these events, I try to advocate Fedora to the extent that I can. I may attempt to put together a Fedora talk for NYLUG, however, I'm not all that sure of what they want to hear about (probably new features in F8/9, etc). Let me know if there is other advocacy that I can do within the NYC area.

IMHO, the contributions made by Fedorans to upstream projects are often overlooked. You can inform a Linux-savvy group like a LUG on howFedora is a great community distro in its own right and how it helps to improve every distro by upstream contributions.

Best Regards,

John Babich Fedora Ambassador
