   5. Your goals in the Fedora Project
          * Which packages do you want to see published?

PyKDE
QScintilla
eric (the PyQt debugger)
spread (along with perl, java, python, etc interfaces)
Postgres-R (needs spread)
Exim

          * Do you want to do QA?

I will do it from time to time. I'm interested in the above packages, so 
if you want me to test something related to them, email me.

          * Anything else special?

I think fedora has a lot of potential. Debian lacks /focus/, but Fedora 
has a real leader who is going to try and herd the engineers towards 
specific, profit-oriented (and thus customer-satisfying) goals. I've seen 
enough of what happens when you let engineers take over a problem and I 
appreciate having a manager point to his watch and emphasize the needs of 
the customers.

   6. Historical qualifications

          * What other projects have you worked on in the past?

I've never contributed significant amounts of code to any project, but I 
have done some work with the following projects:

PyQt, ViM, PostgreSQL, python, Text::Forge, HTML::Mason, mod_perl, 
mod_python, Mozilla and many more I can't remember now.

I help maintain the Sourceforge website for the PyQt project currently.

I'm working on Materialized Views for PostgreSQL.

          * What computer languages and other skills do you know?

Python, perl, C, in that order. I deal a lot with HTTP and web 
technologies (HTML and friends). I work with PostgreSQL databases, Qt, 
PyQt.

          * Why should we trust you? <--- too blunt?

No, it's a great question. You don't have any reason to trust me until you 
see what I do. Go ahead and search on Google for past posts by me, and 
search the web for anything you can find on me. But don't give me the 
keys to your car until you know I can drive and I won't steal it.

   7. GPG KEYID and fingerprint

This is my old key. Note the expiration date. You won't be using it for 
long if you use it at all.
