#250 Welcome to Fedora @pointy!

Welcome

Hello @pointy ! 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. :).


Alright I've written my essay of an introduction after probably going a bit too much into depth, which you can find here: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/fedora-join@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/NDUUJWTMVPCGPMQUL7LYHMPC6HAF2JZN/

Thanks for your help so far! @ankursinha

Hey there @hhlp,

I haven't been too active in the community as I went in for brain surgery shortly after my original introduction and have been dealing with other important life events since my discharge, mostly preventing any proactive tasks on my part.

I am still using Fedora, specifically the KDE spin currently (although not on my main computer so can't follow my usual workflow), and have been reading the test-announce digests anticipating F37 final release.

As I mentioned, I'm not currently set up fully as I'm temporarily using my laptop, without many of my credentials, meaning I'm also not connected to my Quassel IRC core. I can be most reliably contacted either via my email or via Discord at pointy#0001.

Thanks,
Elliott
