The name's Bray. So far, I've been a windows technician for a little under a year. My first computer was a Mac SE which resided in my mothers room, it had a Shareware version of Carbon Copy and proved somewhat entertaining. The name OpenBSD has floated around my vernacular for some time, but only in reference to types of operating systems or whenever someone mentioned "open-source." To be Frank, (you can be Jim), I'm a new kid on the block and would like to be introduced to the community in a formal sense; which is why I'm writing this letter in hopes of become embedded in the community as opposed to another face in the crowd. Anyhow, its nice to meet you all and I would shake your hand but that appears impossible as I cannot yet fax or email my hand.
Welcome to OpenBSD. There's no need for formalism here. The open source crowd is pretty gung ho, in general. Tip: this culture only cares about your skills in the field and nothing else. If you want to not be just another face, learn the system, help out lots of people on this mailing list, support the project, write patches (and don't get scared off if your first few are rejected in flames). Eventually you'll just be known. Have you got an OpenBSD system installed yet? You should do that. Go check out the install guide: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html -Nick
