What I do within Fedora
- (June 2010) - Sent intro email to infrastructure@lists.fedoraproject.org, started helping out wherever I could.
- (January 2011) - Got funded to go to FUDCon:Tempe_2011. (Thank you, Fedora!)
- (February 2011) - Was asked about and gladly accepted entrance into sysadmin-main, the core sysadmin group for the Fedora Project.
- (June 2011) - Won the Fedora Scholarship. (Thank you, Fedora!)
- (November 2011) - Started administrating the Fedora Scholarship since the previous winner has the opportunity to run the next year's scholarship.
- (February 2012) - Became an intern at Red Hat (Fedora Engineering Intern).
Perhaps most importantly, I earn badges!
What I do outside of Fedora (in FOSS)
- I love learning about programming paradigms, particularly Functional Programming.
- Along with that, I love learning the math behind it. Type theory and category theory are enjoyable. :)
- I maintain a small number of Ruby Gems.
- I created (and very badly need to re-create in another language some day) http://da.gd/ and the "framework" that powers it.
- I sometimes contribute to Facebook's Phabricator project in my spare time.
