Hello @johnandmegh! 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. :).
Whelp, I gave it a shot posting to the fedora-join mailing list! I'm not sure who might see this comment, but if anyone who knows does see it - should I edit the Metadata on the right to change the tags at all?
This page (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-join/welcome/welcome/) sounded like that's something that folks who manage the community should do, so I don't want to step on the process - but if it's something I can play around with, I'll happily at least get my feet wet there!
Thanks,
John Kizer
Introduction is here:

Yes @johnandmegh , please feel free to edit the metadata here as you wish. It's all pretty informal---you can do it yourself, or another community member can do it when they receive the notification from your ticket. The idea of these tickets is also to help familiarise people with pagure (and similar) platforms.
I'll go reply to your introduction on the list too. :)
Welcome again, and I hope the resources here will help you find lots of places to hang out in the community, and lots of things to do too. :100:
