Introduction

[monte at wingmantech.com]

Hi all,

BJ's mail, and the mention about people just observing on lugradio
(http://www.lugradio.org) today, has inspired me to introduce myself as
well.

I live in Layton.  Being happily married and having 4 children keeps me
from getting as much time on the computer as I'd like.  I work Edge
Products in Ogden as an embedded software engineer.  I like to go
camping and enjoy off-road motorcycling occasionally.  

My experience with Linux started back in '95 - I installed Slackware and
got a basic X-server working.  then I dropped it while I pursued
Windows, Novell, and Cisco certifications and worked on the network
side of things.  I made the jump to programming in 2001, and finally
got back into Linux in the spring of 1995.  I've configured a server at
work with CentOS 4.2 (dokuwiki, subversion, mantis) and have a Fedora
Core 5 (dokuwiki,samba) server at home.

My first Ubuntu installation was with Breezy Badger and it went well. 
I'm writing this email on Dapper Drake with XGL installed.  My windows
are wobbly and my eyes are bulging with how cool it is!  

I'd like to find a way to contribute to the community with my limited
time.  I'm good at troubleshooting and enjoy learning new things - but
I'm also quite reserved as you can tell because I've been a member of
this group for several months and haven't gotten involved yet.  If you
have an idea of where I might fit in and contribute to Ubuntu, please
send it on.

I look forward to attending a meeting and getting to meet you all face
to face.  Thanks for the intro BJ.
