User:Notinachos

My name is Noti, and I'm a network admin who has been using Fedora both at home, and in the workplace for several years. Fedora Linux wasn't my first choice starting out as a linux newbie, but it did end up becoming my favorite. As I think about things in hindsight, I believe this was due largely to the rapid-pace of development, and the community of knowledgeable folks who were willing to take a moment from their busy lives to help a novice like myself. I've been an active user of the distribution since Fedora 8, however only now am I starting to really appreciate the awesome community of people who make it happen, and I'm excited to be a part of it.

My Contributions
I enjoy helping out most in the #fedora IRC channels. Specifically, I try to target "new users" who are struggling to understand basic Linux concepts. I have found that the more experienced users tend to remain quiet for these easy questions. I see this as an opportunity for me to help a new user, while at the same time giving the more experienced users a well-deserved break. :)

Goals
My immediate goals are to familiarize myself with the structuring of the Fedora Project, and gradually shift my focus from "end-user", to "contributor" as I discover where I fit best.
