Hello @thopan ! 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.
You can also sign into the Fedora community Matrix chat server using your Fedora account. Most teams will have rooms here. You can join whichever ones you find interesting. (More about teams and communication platforms in the links below)
The links below 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. They are all optional and they are by no means "complete", so please read what you find interesting and skip bits that you already know :)
Next, when you're ready, could you please introduce yourself (preferably on the mailing list) so that the community can get to know you? See the next section for some ideas on what to say.
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! :)
We are all friends in the community, and it helps us all to know a little about each other. Please tell us about yourself---whatever you wish to say. Note that this is not a job interview! It is just an icebreaker to help all us all get to know each other better. The better we know each other, the better we can support each other in identifying relevant/interesting Fedora activities.
Here are some ideas:
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)?
Sent my introduction to the mailing list.
I tried changing my avatar picture here on Pagure so that it's the same as for my Fedora account, but ran into an error:
After logging in, I land on the profile page with the basic information like my user name and full name and my current avatar: https://pagure.io/settings#nav-basic-tab. Clicking on "Change Avatar", which leads to the page https://www.libravatar.org/account/login/, results in blank page with the text "Not Found The requested resource was not found on this server"–which could be a 404 error.
Looks like the URL moved to this:
https://www.libravatar.org/accounts/login/
Could you file an issue against pagure please? There's a "file an issue" link in the footer below.

Sure, done.

Brilliant, thanks very much :)
Hey,
I sent off an introduction to the mailing list days ago. Just checking if it went through?
Yes, looks like it did (although I can't find it in my inbox somehow---weird!
You can see it on the web interface (hyperkitty) here:
