Ben Cotton

I am an occasional contributor to and the former leader of the Fedora Docs group. I also co-maintain the condor packages. My day job is the Senior Support Engineer for Cycle Computing, a leader in cloud-based high-performance/high-throughput computing. I have degrees in meteorology and IT project management and have an unhealthy interest in researching open source licenses and communities.

Documentation Project

I was volunteered to be the Docs project leader in November 2011. Mostly my contributions involve administrivia, easy bug fixes, and occasional chapters about printing.

I have a page of DocBook notes because I haven't found one elsewhere on the wiki. I also have a page of User:Bcotton/Useful_links because I can never seem to find what I'm looking for via the wiki search.
