Welcome

Hello @orlandohuang ! 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! :)

Get to know each other better

In addition, could you provide some information to understand your requirements
better? (You can write them in the introduction, or answer here if you feel more
comfortable).

For example:

  • your experience with Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) communities/ecosystems:

    • have you participated in FOSS before, or is this the first time?
    • how do you imagine your place in a FOSS community?
  • your background/skills, for example:

    • community development and outreach, campaigning, journalism
    • Operating System (Do you use GNU/Linux as your main OS? Is Fedora Linux your main distribution?)
    • non-software development: design (Inkscape/Gimp/?), music/video/podcasting, marketing, language proficiency
    • software development related: command line, version control: git/hg/svn/?, rpm/packaging, programming languages/frameworks/utilities, testing, infrastructure/sysadmin
  • your experience in communication platforms:

    • have you used mailing lists before?
    • what is your preferred real time chat platform?
    • have you helped with moderating/administering forums?
  • how much time are you looking to/are you able to spend on volunteering (approximate hours per week)?

Remember that this is not a job interview at all. This is just an icebreaker to
help all your new friends get to know you quicker. The better we know you, the
better we can support you in identifying Fedora activities that promise to be
relevant for you.

Please write how much/whatever you wish. :).


I am Orlando, a professional Python Developer. I like coding, and I specialize in GUI app and Console development. I also like math. I am a 10 year old Chinese (I faked that I am above 16, guys, please don't report me... :pray: ) I am always changing Operating Systems and discovered that the Linux community is saying that Fedora is much more user friendly than before, so I decided to try. It is actually pretty good! I always liked to contribute to new GitHub repositories, but still I am pretty bad at it... I use Fedora Linux as my main OS now. I use GitHub (git) and rpm and flatpak for packaging now. I use Python as my main Programming language but I know a lot of languages. For example: Advanced knowledge of Python, C#, HTML; Medium knowledge of JavaScript; and Little knowledge of Java, C, C++, and Ruby. I have used mailing lists probably because my school has one, and my preferred real time chat platform is Discord. I have no experience moderating/administering forums before, but I think I could do a good job if I can. I am probably able to spend 5-9 h per week volunteering. I will volunteer as much as I can!
