My name is Jeff Anderson. I am currently taking a year off from my studies in Electrical Engineering at Brigham Young University. I am currently working for Bluehost. I am an avid Linux user. I make heavy use of the vim editor, as well as the git content tracker.

Projects

I have several projects I am working on or contributing to.

Django

I contribute a significant amount of my time to the Django project. This website has a django backend. I use Django extensively at work. Most of what I contribute are small patches and ticket triaging. I help shuffle through the usual thousand-or-so open tickets to try to weed out the useless ones. I will also write patches for some tickets that purpose a good idea that is simple to implement.

Smug

Smug is a django app that was created by Andrew Mcnabb. It more or less makes it possible to store and serve website content from a git repository. I am using smug for most of this website. If someone wants to make an edit to my website, they can edit the page like it was a wiki, and then I can review their submitted changes before integrating them into the site. This enables some of the same freedom that a wiki gives, but without the anarchy that it brings along with it. I have made contributions to the smug project since I started using smug.

Python

I'm trying to become as proficient in Python as I can. I love working with the Python language. Currently I am teaching a Beginner's Python course at work for coworkers interested in learning about Python.
