After spending several years working with Debian, I recently found myself boasting Fedora 23 on my new laptop. The community has always seemed to be a bit more tightly-knit around Fedora than most other distros, so I've had an interest in getting involved, and that's where I find myself now - seeking to join up as an ambassador for an awesome distro! 01:13:28 <jflory7> Hahah, yes, so now there's two Coreys. :) Well, welcome to the FAmNA meeting, Corey, we're glad to have you here. At our meetings, we usually have a set of announcements and then look at tickets that we have to discuss in our Trac page. We're about to begin that part of the meeting. 01:13:47 <jflory7> Nice, so you have a little bit of experience already with open source! 01:13:53 <jflory7> That's good to know. 01:14:09 <jflory7> linuxmodder++ Nice one, yes!
