I realized I have never done a 'self-introduction' to any of the Fedora items.. so I had better do so now that I am a chief asbestos bait.
Full Legal Name: Stephen Smoogen City, Country: Albuquerque NM, USA UTC-07:00 Profession: Systems Administration, Computer Security, Loon. Affiliation: University of New Mexico Your goals in the Fedora Project: To help build a stable enterprise Linux and have a good desktop platform. Historical qualifications:
I started in Linux in 1992 when working as a student at New Mexico Tech. I got handed a box of floppies to try out and found Linux to have all the tools I needed to get a remote telescope communication working that I couldnt do with other software. I then went to work at Los Alamos National Labs and then a browser company called Spyglass. At Spyglass, I worked with Red Hat on the Red Baron browser (ok I did QA on it in the back room while trying to keep the AIX 3 boxes running). I went to work at Red Hat in 1997 as a Technical Support Monkey, and worked at Red Hat til 2001 in various places. I then went back to work at Los Alamos and then Sandia National Laboratories for a year. I am currently working as a Unix/Linux Administrator at the University of New Mexico while I work on my Masters/Phd that I am hoping to someday maybe sorta get.
I have done mostly computer systems administration, and computer security. My programming skills have been more on finding where a core dump occurs and what input triggered it. I am hoping to help grow EPEL to a larger audience and to work eventually on a not-so-l33t-security spin.
