Hello @bowmanjd! 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. Please feel free to skip bits you already know:
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. :).
Just posted to the mailing list: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/fedora-join@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/OLZHRPAJBKZ33MMIBIG46MZLR242X545/
Thank you!
I am curious: am I supposed to be able to receive email at bowmanjd@fedoraproject.org?
When I attempt to test it, I get a bounce back with the error "Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table"

It doesn't work by simply having a FAS account. Your account need to be in some FAS groups. Nowadays being part of FAS groups is not mandatory in order to contribute, but in some cases it is required to be CLA+1 (i.e. elections, email alias). How to be part of a FAS group? It depends on the team policy. But if you are really committed in the community, sooner or later you will be part of some FAS group :-)
