Hello @yetimaan ! Welcome to Fedora!
Before we begin, please subscribe to the Fedora join mailing list at fedora-join@lists.fedoraproject.org. We use this list for general discussion, and it is also where the community shares tasks that need help.
These links are a good read to begin with. They tell you what the Free/Open Source community is about, and then they'll introduce you to Fedora: what Fedora is all about, and what we do, and of course, how we do it:
Next, when you're ready, could you please introduce yourself (preferably on the list) so that the community can get to know you? (interests, skills, anything you wish to say about yourself really)
Finally, could you let us know how you learned about the Fedora project? Was it from a colleague, or social media, for example?
If you have any questions at all, please ask! We'll use this ticket to keep in touch! :)
Thanks, @ankursinha ! I've wrapped up the reading and tasks in this ticket.
Hello everyone!
My name is Tom Black (yetimaan) in the eastern time zone of the USA. I have roughly 20 years working with computers and using linux. Professionally, I've been working as a front end web developer for 14 years and also doing team lead work with big enterprise-level companies like Walmart, Sam's Club, Ford Motor Company, White Cloud, and J. B. Hunt Transport.
Would you believe the first linux distro I tried was Red Hat 9 in 2002? :D I also got a RHEL Certification around 2008-ish when RHEL 4 was heavily used.
After spending the past 14 years (and counting) on closed-source web applications, I'd like to give some of my time to the project so I can help the community and make my work more public.
I've narrowed my initial interest in the infra: Web and Apps work as I have a strong background working with UX/Creative (Sass) and FE JS frameworks like Angular, React, and jQuery, but I'm also open to packaging.
I'm raising one daughter, two dogs, and three fish. Obsessed with mountain biking and pretty much rubber to the trails when it's nice out.
Thanks for having me!

@alciregi Ha! I forgot to update this thread. Thank you for checking in with me. Yes, I'm working with the Website and Apps team. I picked up an issue for upgrading the Fedora bootstrap library (it's quite old).
