Hello @alex91 ! 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)?
Hello everyone. My name is Jhonatan Grajales but they usually call me Alex by my middle name. It is the first time that I participate in an open source project, however I am fully willing to collaborate for the growth of the project and the community. My native language is Spanish and I am learning English. I currently work in a SAP help desk, I have been on my personal computer with Fedora for approximately a year and I am delighted with the stability I have had, I normally use it to develop small programs in Python for practice purposes and I find myself making a LFS101 Linux certification. As for the mailing lists, it is the first time I have used it, in my environment we have always used Microsoft Teams to communicate and now I am trying Element.
Due to my job and the fact that I have shifts at different times, I have an estimated time of 10 hours a week.
I am enthusiastic about being able to contribute to the community.
