Hello @pracedru ! 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 everyone, My name is Magnus and I am from Denmark. I would like to participate in the development of Fedora and in the community. I am a mechanical engineer and i have worked extensively with software development during my career. I have not really participated actively in the existing FOSS projects before now. I would like to be part of it though. I have recently switched from Ubuntu based distros to Fedora as my main distro for my desktop and laptop computers. I have worked with graphics since i got my first computer an Amiga 2000 in 1988. I have experience with GIMP, Inkscape, Blender, KDEnlive and many other programs like them. I have programmed a lot in many different languages and feel proficient to solve most problems. I also have some limited experience with administration of infrastructure. I unfortunately have not yet packaged any software with RPM but i have packaged software for deployment before. The following programming languages are where i have developed extensively: Python Java C/C++ C#, VB .net Javascript
The following languages are where i haven't coded in a while or very little. but where i wouldn't mind learning more. Fortran Matlab BASH VBS, CMD APDL Rust LISP
I have some experience with BASH scripting but this is something I would like to improve. I have no experience with mailing lists, but i would like to learn. I currently use Matrix, Discord and Telegram mostly for real time chatting. I only have very little experience with moderating and administrating forums. I would like to participate with some hours every week both in community and with coding.
