Welcome

Hello @carvalhoalexsander `! 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. :).


From #223:

Hello,

My name is Alexsander, I live in Brazil, i'm lawyer in Digital Rights also author of several articles and interviews related to electronic and internet law, F/OSS activist and enthusiast in technologies how as cryptography and information security, blockchain, smart contracts, internet of things (IoT), decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO), regulation of the crypto market, preventing and fight cybercrimes between others electronic illicit. In my wiki (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Carvalhoalexsander) there is more information about my work, and I would like to contribute to the Fedora project in some way. I'm also a programmer, and the language I like the most is SQL. Search for topics related to Digital Transformation by Red Hat.

Thanx all

Its me, I've been a Fedora user for a long time, and other distros, but I really like Debian and Fedora. Not just a FOSS activist but passionate about the KISS philosophy, "simplicity is genius" :P

I'm looking for topics about to Digital Transformation by Red Hat, and also contribute in whatever is useful to the Fedora project.

Legal issues about privacy by design and by default are of interest to me..

There, before I forget, I would like to be part of the group "Fedora Advocates". Also to know more about the subject, who knows a future Ambassador.
