I just got word that a patch I submitted will be included in Fedora 12.
OK, so the problem was a simple typo in system-config-kickstart, which caused it to crash when invoked with the –generate option. Something a junior high kid could fix. But that’s not the point.
I post this, not to blow my own horn, but to document an event that’s important to me. In opening the bug and posting the patch, I got to work some levers in Red Hat’s Bugzilla. I got a taste of participating in a project that I absolutely love. I did what I think one should do in FOSS projects.
As I commented when I posted the patch:
I’m very new at all this. Someday, may my talent match my enthusiasm.
And, as minor as this contribution is and will be, it’s my first one. And the taste is sweet.

Huzzah! Belated congratulations!
I must apologize for not stopping by in many busy months. I don’t have time for Google Reader these days. Even my Twitter reading and ‘riting is sporadic. And don’t even mention Friendfeed.
But, as way of compliment, I must mention that quietvoice.org is the first suggestion offered when I type ‘Q’ into Firefox address bar. Which is exactly where I wanted to go when I typed the letter Q in Firefox just 3 minutes ago.
