[Mageia-discuss] Joining

[Chris Ellis]

Hi all

I've been a long time Mandriva advocate.  I'm glad to see this move to
create a more stable future and hopefully provide a stronger vision
and direction.

I wish to offer my skills and time towards this project, however I'm a
newbie when it comes to packaging.

My skills mainly focus around: Java (specifically web applications)
and PostgreSQL development.  I also dabble in system administration,
mainly working with Apache HTTP, Apache Tomcat.  Recently I've started
building some RPM's to deploy software easier on the systems I'm
responsible for, I'm by no means an expert at the moment.

I'm very willing to get involved with the packaging side of:
PostgreSQL and its extensions, Java applications, Apache HTTPD, Apache
Tomcat and anything else which I can help with.

I have a few machines I could setup as a build server, however I've
currently only got a ADSL connection available.

I'm a big supporter of Open Source and an active member of my local
Linux User Group (Wolverhampton LUG, UK).
