Hello @marko196 ! 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! :)
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:
your background/skills, for example:
your experience in communication platforms:
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. :).
Hello Fedora team!
My name is Marko, I live in Malta, and I have been a user of Linux on and off since 2011, and it has been my main OS for several years now. I’ve used probably every relatively known distribution but always come back to Fedora, and so I want to contribute to this awesome OS which served me so well over the years.
I’m not a developer or coder although I have some basic knowledge of programming, but I would mostly like to contribute in writing, especially documentation and maybe even articles for Fedora Magazine. I also am a native Serbian speaker so I would also happily work in translation.
As for communication, I’ve never used mailing lists but I assume I will adapt to this quickly. Otherwise I mainly use Discord but I like Matrix too. I used to be on several forums way back in 2010 or earlier, but I’ve shifted away from that as social media grew during the time.
I have a full time job so I can’t promise any set number of hours volunteering but I can definitely set aside at least an hour or two every day or so.
I’m excited to be a part of this amazing community!
