I started running Linux around the 2.0.26 days. I am an all around jack of all trades seasoned sysadmin and long time fan of the Fedora project.

I am always looking for ways that I can contribute to the Fedora community.

You can usually find me in #Fedora-Ambassadors, #fedora, #fedora-devel, #fedora-qa, #fedora-meeting, #fedora-test-day, #fedora-bugzappers, #vbox and #bitchx.

I can be emailed at dan.mashal@fedoraproject.org

Some of the things I like to do (besides contributing to Fedora) are helping charities, giving back to the community, and helping out people that aren't as fortunate as I've been in life.

2 charities I support:

1) Be the Match Foundation
2) Sharks Foundation

I am also a registered blood and platelet donor with Stanford Blood Center and donate regularly.

This year (2012) for the first time ever I participated in Be The Match Foundation's "Be The One Run".

In less than 5 days I was able to raise $200 in the name of Leukemia.

I am also currently the Fedora package maintainer for the BitchX IRC client and a member of the Fedora Bug Zappers group. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/BitchX

Besides that I'm an avid hockey fan and love traveling, trying new foods, being social and playing video games.

I am always on IRC. Feel free to send me a message and ask me a question and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
