Joe O'Dell
Hi, My name is Joe O'Dell and I've been working on Fedora for quite a while.
I will try to keep this short, as there are lots of places online where you can read more about me.
I'm a student at an Upper (Secondary) School in Bedfordshire (UK), I'm a GEEK and I have a passion for FLOSS, Linux and Software Freedom. :)
I have some of the more usual hobbies, other than being a geek, such as reading, making cool-beans friends and enjoying life!
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions, and do have a look around!
Regards,
Joe
Me & Linux
Although I'm still at school, I've been using Linux for quite a while now - I first started using it way back in 2005, when I finally decided to give MS the boot.
I'd had enough of BSoD's and Bugs and having money ripped out of my pocket by Bill G., so yes, I switched!
The first ever Distribution I used was Ubuntu, and from then on I've been hooked!
I have a passion to share Linux, and hopefully I can benefit a lot of people!

Activities within Fedora
- Free Media contributor since 2009!
I love being part of the FreeMedia group, as it lets me give something back to the world :)
I don't have extreme amounts of money that I can give, but by sending a couple of 25p discs every month, I know someone else has experienced linux, and that's all good!
- Promoting Fedora
I aim to promote Fedora (but also other Linux distros) to the wide community in which I live in. This is why I have set up my own LUG (Linux User Group), as I believe that there is a lot I can help others learn, and Fedora is a part of it!
