Hello @urtabajev! 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. :).
I have one question about getting involved in project. Can I use nickname for FAS or for legal reasons should always use my official passport name?
@bcotton As I have been already going over documentation and discovering links being broken after migration from wiki then I could probably continue with that as I need to discover project more. Maybe you could point out some sections which may need some attention and also be beneficial for newcomer as well. Two birds with one stone or how they say it in English. In Estonia we are have smaller scale and we are talking about two flies with one hit.
@urtabajev : you don't need to use your official legal name from what I know.
Thanks for your intro, it's here:

As for the docs, there were lots of pages migrated from the wiki for the quick-docs, so you can perhaps look there and help with tickets?
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/
How's it going with the links? We hope you found them useful.
Metadata Update from @ankursinha: - Issue untagged with: C: Introduction requested - Issue tagged with: I: Documentation-Writing, S: Introduced myself
Notes from other welcome issues: https://fedoraproject.org/easyfix -list that is meant to contain tasks that are quick to do https://fedoraproject.org/PackageReviewStatus/ - report of package review tickets
I haven't forgot about this ticket but seems that I had experienced similar difficulties to get involvement going as many other new joiners.
Sure, take your time.
Can we help with these difficulties in any way?
Those are mostly personal time management issues.
Other than that, I wanted to report that I am not lost. Enjoined Gnome Apps testing recently. Hopefully had little impact for better tomorrow :)
There has been year long break. Same time I haven't still forgotten that I have commitment here. Trying to resume it. Provided some feedback to dnf5 test day.
Sounds good, no hurry at all---take your time :)
