Hey all! My name is Fred Concklin and I plan on working on Bitcoin development through my position at Trucoin. I thought I'd take this chance to introduce myself and go over where I can make contributions. I'm great with automated builds and testing for GNU/Linux and BSD platforms and generally plan on structuring the bitcoin project into a structure compliant with GNU autotools to facilitate testing and bug reporting. I'm also interested in work to daemonize bitcoin on boot and furthering work to bring bitcoin into general coding and implementation paradigms seen on GNU/Linux platforms. While I mainly spend my time in high level functional programming languages these days, I look forward to working on bitcoin and hope everybody is patient with my occasional cpp implementation ineptitudes. I'm also interested in spurring discussion on new blockchain distribution techniques and thoughts on improvements for bitcoin. I'm excited to begin work on bitcoin. fpc
