Meeting Agenda Item: Introduction Matthew Whittle
 

Hi everyone,

Here is a little about me.

My
name is Matthew Whittle and I currently work as a senior application
developer at VSP (Vision Service Plan) - it is eye insurance.* I have a
lovely wife and no kids (yet!).* We live in Sacramento California in the
US and I heard about this project through someone at JBoss at the
JavaOne conference in San Francisco.* At my current work I develop
backend services for our membership using Java and Websphere and for fun
I develop games for the iPhone (I have about 8 out now).* I have been
using Fedora at home for about 5 years now.*


I joined this group because I have a desire to build a 3D operating system.* By tomorrow.* Just kidding.* Yes I know that is a huge task but I thought I could start small by making a 3D desktop background...* or maybe I should start even smaller.* But at least you know my short and long term goals.*




My IRC handle I believe is MattWhCaUs (it is the nickname I used)
(by the way, http://www.wikihow.com/Register-a-User-Name-on-Freenode lists IRC at http://webchat.freenode.com/ but it is really http://webchat.freenode.net/*** Later on you can show me how to fix that myself!)



Cool beans - looking forward to hearing from y'all.*

Cheers,

Matthew Whittle

Well, if you are looking at background making, you want the design
team:

More in general:

And if you are looking for system admin/application development for
applications that build and distribute Fedora, i can provide you more
info here.
