Hi, I'm new to contributing but not new to Linux. I started on RHL 7.1
around 2000 and have used Slackware, Gentoo and Debian in the past. I
was active at my university LUG and Gaming Club (running the game
servers on Slackware) and now I work for Red Hat since August 2007 in
support.
I have been building RPMs for myself on and off almost since I started
at Red Hat and switched from Debian to Fedora. I built RPMs for
Rivendell [1] which is a large radio automation suite and some
recommended getting that into Fedora but at the time it seemed too
daunting.
Now I am getting into DJing and in particular using FOSS to do it. I
have used Mixxx and xwax. I am becoming the co-maintainer of Mixxx in
rpmfusion [2] and have just submitted my first package review request
for Fedora for xwax. [3] I would like to make Fedora a good platform
for digital DJing.
Mixxx was affected by a portaudio bug that had been fixed in Ubuntu
but not Fedora so I opened a bug [4] on that and got that fixed.
I have created a mixxx on fedora page for the Mixxx wiki. [5]
My FAS account is John2583 but you can find me on Freenode as
JBstrikesagain (I think that username was too long for FAS).
I am in #fedora and #fedora-devel among other channels.
You can check out my website to see some other stuff I do:
