Something a little personal
I am currently a student pursuing a degree in Computer Science. I feel information, software, and progress should be free for anyone to access and to make their own; hence my love for open source software. I am seeking to get involved with several projects to help the Fedora community, and I have recently became a member of the XFCE SIG.
Roles
I hope to become involved with Documentation for both Fedora and the Xfce SIG.
