Hi,
My name is Marc and I've been looking for an Open Source project to contribute to for some time now. I've taken a look around the Fedora site and some of the mailing lists and I'm very impressed at the effort put into the documentation and the positive attitude towards new contributors.
I have a few hours available in the evenings and I'm interested in helping out with package testing and perhaps bug triage, although I find Bugzilla to be a bit overwhelming at the moment. At some point I'd like to be involved with the infrastructure team too.
I've been using Linux since 1998 and although I have picked up a thing here and there I wouldn't consider myself a super genius expert. My skills lean more towards the system administration side rather than development and I enjoy setting up new systems and configuring software.
I'm lurcio on IRC and I look forward to saying hello and getting started.
Thanks,
Marc

One convenient thing about signing up as a Fedora contributor is that you could acquire "watchbugzilla" access in Fedora pkgdb for specific packages you're interested in. Alternatively, it's rather convenient to visit the http://bugz.fedoraproject.org/SOURCE-RPM-NAME pages that link to an overview of existing tickets for a package.
