Introduction

My name is Christian Bryant, OLPC Support volunteer #262. I'm a UNIX/Linux hobbyist and professional, currently focused on GNU/Linux custom distribution builds. I primarily use Fedora and openSUSE for my development and desktop environment. My employer is UCLA, but I should note that my work here at OLPC is unrelated and does not represent the views of UCLA. I'm a Los Angeles native, living in California, USA.

At OLPC my focus is the assessment of the OLPC documentation lifecycle and management architecture. As I have more concrete duties and project tasks, I'll update this page with details and progress. I also will be working toward enhancement of olpcMAP seeking to add and encourage genuine stories and perspectives on the map when OLPC/Sugar news/blogs/documentation/etcetera has a real geo-connection.

Outside of this page, you can find me via the contact information to the right and at Indenti.ca where the majority of my OLPC and Sugar related news can be found.

Curator and Maintainer

The original call for volunteers I answered was for curators and maintainers to organize "our exploding corpus of public and private Support Documentation" and manuals. It called for a "literary, social, organized and driven volunteer" but I took a chance and applied anyway! I'm currently working with Adam Holt to flesh out my responsibilities, but have already buried myself deep into the mindset of documentation curator. Watch this section over the next couple months to be replaced with project guidelines, goals and progress specific to the Support portion of OLPC.

Public Key

I regularly sign and encrypt emails and files, generally source code and other development related configuration items. If you wish to read signed and encrypted emails from me, or confirm that development files are from my development environment, you may do so by using my GPG /public key.

I can often be found on several channels in Freenode. The best way to get in contact with me is to engage me in conversation on a topic of interest to me. These are the channels I most often join, under the nickname ``christianabryant:
