I too am a long time user of RedHat and have never really found a place
to contribute, but would love to help out on the Fedora Project.  I have
developed apps in C and Gtk before (although most of my development
knowledge is in VB and ASP on the Windows side), but I have used
Python/PyGTK a little bit and don't think it would be that major of a
learning curve.  Like Xavier, I am willing to help out on any projects
if any have started, or Xavier, I would be willing to work with you on a
task scheduler.  Again, I don't want to be a burden to anyone, and don't
mind doing dirty work, just let me know what you need and I would be
more than willing to help, as long as I have free time at that moment.
Would love to get my feet wet in the development process, so let me know
if you need anything.

Thanks,
Matt
