[Fedora-desktop-list] Introduction
by Ryan J. Zygar 07 Nov '03

07 Nov '03

Hello all, I am Ryan Zygar. I am a linux hobbyist who has been using linux for since 99. I started with Caldera as my first distro and made the transition to Redhat at 5.2 also. Currently I am know deploying linux as my primary desktop with an XP share the other side. I remember along time ago making a post to Garrett Lesage's website about the need for someone creative, as himself, to join up with the Redhat Team and make cool backgrounds or something to contribute to that cause. At the time all that I could find was Debian related backgrounds and support. For a short stint I actually used Debian on a box for awhile. So I was really excited when Garrett started work at Redhat. Maybe I contributed :-) I work in Land Development/Construction Industry and use Linux as my primary desktop for all the work that I have day in day out. I can only offer usability input, and some photography. I have some creative desktop screenshots here: www.zygar.com/sshots You wil see a lot of your backgrounds also! In IRC usually I go by hendershot.

Hello all, I am Kreg Steppe. It all started with my Commodore 64, (fast forward) now I have been in the computer arena for 17years. (Has it been that short?) If there is a job in this industry, I have probably done it at some point in time. I currently work as a Web Developer (Dream Job) where I code with PHP, Python, some perl constantly learning something about CSS, and are also trying to pick up PyGTK. I also consider myself an amature, amature cartoonist. I have been using linux since RH 5.2, which led to me eventually getting my RHCE. I also have some certs from another large software firm as well. With some inspiration from that 'Bluecurve guy', Garrett, I have been taking up Digital photography. I do enjoy working on icons, and wallpapers trying to improve the look and feel of my favorite os, So I offer my meager Gimping skills. I am almost embarrassed to post this but here is a sample of some stuff I did and posted on kde-look.org last year. http://www.kde-look.org/usermanager/search.php?username=caldroun I also have a Blog that I post to from time to time. http://www.spyndle.com Kreg P.S. I also will give props to the RH desktop team...leading up to Fedora all previous Redhat Releases have gotten progressively better. Fedora is no exception. Here's to a great job.

[Fedora-desktop-list] Introduction and letter of intent to help as I can.
by Trae McCombs 07 Nov '03

Hi everyone, I've noticed several people sending in introductions to the fedora-devel-list, and no one has said it was a bad idea, so here goes... My name is Trae McCombs, I used to go by "OctobrX" in the olden days. I had a hand somewhat in the Linux community development by building the original themes.org website(with much help from a great community of volunteers I might add). I was later on hired by VA to build Linux.com, and we built a really great community website that had a team of developers building, adding, and generating content. At any rate, I'm very pleased to see that one of my pictures, frosty_pipes.jpg was selected to be in the desktop-backgrounds-extra package. I want to continue to see the Fedora desktop grow into something that we can all(and we already should be) be very proud of. I would also like to give big kudos to Garrett and all of the Redhat Desktop team for doing some EXTREMELY nice work so far. They have, for the most part, cured me of searching around endlessly for different desktop setups. I'll send another email outlining some of my gripes, small as they are, with how things can be done to improve FC1+. I look forward to working with you all and helping out as I can. Sincerely yours, Trae McCombs -- Trae "occy" McCombs http://occy.net/ founder: themes.org / linux.com
