Hello, World!
My name's James Anslow and I'm a developer from the United Kingdom. My IRC handle is janslow. My skills are focused on the web; development and maintenance of web systems both in terms of code and infrastructure.
I have been working as a full time developer for some 5 years, almost entirely focused on private commercial projects. I have always used open source software; a mix of Fedora, CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu. I am now looking to contribute back to the communities that I have benefited from.
I have experience working with many of the tools used by the Fedora infrastructure team. I recently implemented an Ansible environment for my employer, where there was formerly no automation system in place. Day to day I also work with apache, nginx, mysql, mongodb, varnish, memcache, nagios, observium and a plethora of development tools and misc. technologies.
I currently manage a relatively small fleet of servers. (~30) I am most interested in learning more about managing infrastructure at scale. I think that I can contribute to the Fedora project and hopefully broaden my knowledge in a way that I would not otherwise be able to in my day job.
In terms of tickets that I would like to look at, I would like to start here:
* https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/4923
Because debugging APIs is a comfortable starting point to get my feet wet given my experience and skills.
James
