Hi, I'd like to throw my name into the hat for the Apprentice program. 1) Part of an existing FOSS community I've been part of the Ubuntu community for quite a while and I was the l10n Esperanto Lead for OpenOffice many years ago (in fact I started the effort before handing it off). https://launchpad.net/~joey I've been with the Gnome community since 2006: https://wiki.gnome.org/action/info/JoeyStanford 2) Familiar with how a FOSS Project works behind the scenes I have this one down as per my previous answer. I also work currently for Canonical. I'm a point man for Gnome systems hosted by Canonical in Canonical's Datacenter as well as monthly vulnerability assessments of the Gnome systems, recently including all of the systems. The output of this I have been providing to AV on #sysadmin. 3) Familiar with popular tools like Puppet, Git I use git almost daily but I'm not an advanced user of it. I am a beginner with puppet which may disqualify me. I don't use puppet on a daily basis but I am familiar with how it works including manifests. 4) Familiar with RHEL as the OS of choice I currently sysadmin a small number of CENTOS machines distributed amongst mountain tops in Colorado used for emergency communications. I obviously have a great deal more experience with Debian based systems and sysadmin a number of these machines in a non-work environment. 5) Familiar with popular Sysadmin tools, softwares and procedures I am not a sysadmin by trade but I have been in a sysadmin role before. I started out as a sysadmin for IBM managing AIX boxes. Over the years I've gathered experience managing small installations of various linux systems. I currently use tools like cricket, smokeping, Canonical's Landscape, linux dash, and the like. Also for fun I've been using docker, lxc, vagrant, and vmware for hosting environments and devops. 6) Eager to learn new things, make constructive discussions with a team, provide feedback and new ideas Yes. :-) Just for fun I've been slogging through Limoncelli's Practice of System and Network Admin book to see if this old dog can learn some new tricks. I don't need to be part of the apprentice program. I'm going to continue to help out as I have been. However, if I can learn more and help out better as part of the program, I'd like that. I use Gnome and Unity so helping Gnome is in my best interest. Plus, it just feels good to help others. Joey
