Hi,
I'm Andrew, a final year computer science student who has been quite active the student run computing facility hosted by GeekSoc [1]. Through this I have gained experience administering CentOS systems set up for a variety of purposes including Joomla and Wordpress on Apache, MySQL, SSH, OpenLDAP, BIND, and NFS.
I'll admit that I have a lot to learn about professional system administration - working with a student group providing services to other students is vastly different that a production system used by a *lot* of people - but I am willing to learn and would really like to improve my sysadmin skills.
I imagine the best place for me to start would be to poke around the systems a bit to try and better undertand the setup you have and slowly start working on some of the simpler issues.
Thanks, Andrew Smillie

I'm sure nirik will ping you on the list soon!
Welcome Andrew!
I imagine you already read http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/GettingStarted but it's always a good place to start.
The first thing you'll need to do is get sponsored and become a member of the infrastructure apprentice group so you can login to the systems and look around.
See you on IRC.

Absolutely.
Please drop by #fedora-admin and/or #fedora-noc on freenode and introduce yourself and we can get you setup as an apprentice to start looking around.
Again, welcome.
