Extras/SelfIntroduction

= Developer Self Introduction =

When a new developer joins the project, we ask that he/she introduces themselves on the fedora-extras-list@redhat.com mailing list. The primary purpose of this is to begin the process of building trust by learning about the developer, and downloading their GPG key. The below items in bold are Required while the other items are optional but highly recommended.

Yeah, there isn't anything optional at the moment...

 * What computer languages and other skills do you know?
