Hi All

My name is Robin Shepheard and I am a network admin for a smallish
firm of stockbrokers.

I have been using Linux for about 10 years and as my main OS for about
5 years.

I have a very limited programming experience (well I have written a
few scripts in perl to make my life easier) but I am by no means a
developer.

My main field of skills is in the networking area, getting a network
up and running and maintaining it.

I currently use Linux for a proxy server in the office and for a file
server, but I am in the process of using Edubuntu to provide a thin
client system to provide access to our citrix published applications.
It is not quite as mad as it first sounds as it means I set up the
Edubuntu server and then all we need to do when we add a new client is
do a network boot, rather than have to do a full install. Yes I could
use PXE to install Linux to each desktop but it means I still have to
update the client software or re-install after every software update,
using Edubuntu this is not the case.

I would like to lend a hand with the Edubuntu project if I can.
Although I have been using Linux for a fair while I have not felt that
I could make much of a contribution in the past. My view has now quite
obviously changed and I believe Edubuntu to be a very worthwhile
project that I would like to donate some of my time to.

I think that I would probably be of most use helping with the
documentation or with bug testing, but I am open to trying anything if
someone can spare a little while with hand-holding on tasks I am not
familiar with.

Any suggestions as to how I can make myself useful would be most welcome

Cheers

Robin Shepheard
