Hello @t0xic0der ! 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.
Then, 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)
In the meantime, these links would be a good read. 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:
If you have any questions at all, please ask! We'll use this ticket to keep in touch! :)
The process we follow is documented in the Readme

A note to myself
Thank you @t0xic0der your commitment is amazing.
From the links, did you find an area of Fedora that interests you perhaps? (apart from docs?)
Metadata Update from @ankursinha: - Issue tagged with: I: Documentation-Writing
Done. Let me know where to move on to. From the links, did you find an area of Fedora that interests you perhaps? (apart from docs?)
Umm. Apart from this, every link kind of talked about what Fedora is and how is everything organized here - so did not quite get to explore the things I can be interested in.
I would love to hear your suggestions about what I can/should do.
Also, I am working on this with @ferdnyc's and @kwizart 's assistance.
Metadata Update from @alciregi: - Custom field Temporary membership granted on adjusted to 2020-06-02 - Issue tagged with: C: Temporary membership approved
A note to myself.
v0.3.0 released (04 June 2020, 20:12IST) Check the build here.
Added tons of new features here.
The tool now functions differently based on the command line modes.
Modes of installation Active internet connection and superuser privilege is required to execute the following installation modes. - sudo ./NVAutoInstFedora32 --rpmadd This mode enables the RPM Fusion NVIDIA drivers repository. - sudo ./NVAutoInstFedora32 --driver This mode simply installs the NVIDIA drivers (with x86_64 deps only). Enabling the RPM Fusion NVIDIA drivers repository is mandatory before doing this.
sudo ./NVAutoInstFedora32 --rpmadd
sudo ./NVAutoInstFedora32 --driver
sudo ./NVAutoInstFedora32 --x86lib
sudo ./NVAutoInstFedora32 --nvrepo
sudo ./NVAutoInstFedora32 --plcuda
sudo ./NVAutoInstFedora32 --ffmpeg
sudo ./NVAutoInstFedora32 --vulkan
sudo ./NVAutoInstFedora32 --vidacc
sudo ./NVAutoInstFedora32 --getall
sudo ./NVAutoInstFedora32 --cheksu
sudo ./NVAutoInstFedora32 --compat
sudo ./NVAutoInstFedora32 --version
sudo ./NVAutoInstFedora32 --help
This makes this tool almost comprehensive and complete after the fix made by v0.2.5 to remove the troublesome sleep time and kernel module read forcing. I had to work almost 12 plus hours a day to design, test and build the tool to the state it is currently in.
There are tons of issues to work on and any assistance in testing and building things is more than appreciated. Like I said before, I would like to pay equal amounts of attention to all the issues so feel free to comment under the issue you would want to work on.
Great @t0xic0der
Awesome @t0xic0der , As it's quite some time, you're here. Did you find something interesting to work on ?
P.S: I'm marking this ticket as Progress Check 1
Metadata Update from @nasirhm: - Issue tagged with: C: Progress check 1
I was thinking we close this ticket. @toxic0der has a great idea of how Fedora works and what they can do. :)
What do you think @t0xic0der?
Thanks for the check @nasirhm.
I have been lingering about and have found a lots of things to work on (some of which include working on the easyfixes one-by-one - starting with WordCloudBot, reviewing and writing docs on quick-docs, actively responding to questions on ask.fedoraproject.org and (trying to) package my tool into a COPR)
I am also preparing for the Git 101 with Pagure Fedora Classroom session that you must be aware about. :wink: (though it might take some time). I have discovered lots of places where I can be of assistance, though this never stops and I would certainly keep on discovering more.
The only way is up :smile:
Yes @ankursinha, I think I now know how Fedora works and what I can do.
(P.S. As there is stuff that I am doing apart from Document Writing, could you please modify the metadata before closing the ticket to note the same? Like the tasks I have picked and have been doing lately mostly fall under App Development, Infrastructure, QA and Packaging.)
Document Writing
App Development
Infrastructure
QA
Packaging
Feel free to go ahead and close the ticket. :smile:
Great @t0xic0der I hope you will have great satisfactions in your contributions. I'm happy you are here.

@ankursinha, @nasirhm, @hhlp, everyone. There is a point. @t0xic0der is now contributing, he knows a lot about the community, he is doing a great work, but... he is not CLA+1 (oh well, he actually is CLA+1, but because of fedora-join temporary membership). It is ok that everyone can contribute without being formally part of any team. But CLA+1 is required for various things in Fedora (voting, mail alias, etc.), but first of all, IMHO, it is a (maybe formal or bureaucratic) way for people to think, feel and say "hey, I'm part of Fedora".
In this particular case, I'd say that @t0xic0der is contributing to the Fedora Join SIG (with classrooms etc.) and so their temporary membership should be converted to a permanent one? I'd also support their sponsorship to the docs team, since they've worked with quick-docs. @t0xic0der : any preferences? :P
In general, though, you are right. i guess we keep the ticket open until the newcomers get added to another group to be CLA +1? But then we need to modify our process to make CLA+1 a goal then: we don't particularly focus on that yet, we're just happy for folks to contribute here and there.
Mmmh, I don't think it should be a goal. However I think that teams should take care of this process. It is a formality, you can contribute without CLA+1, it is true, ok, but I think that it is an important aspect of the community (like badges). Btw maybe this is not the right place to discuss this topic.
Understandable. The temporary membership was provided during the elections so that I could vote. Being a part of a group, and (only then) being able to contribute kind of feels constricted.

Docs is certainly something that I started from but since then, I have been doing things here and there in Infra and Classroom (not being restricted to contribute in a single place as I follow "If you can, then you should" :smile:).
@ankursinha Is there a rule that being sponsored to one team makes you ineligible for another? For I would want to be (and contribute) in multiple areas, if at all it is possible.
Something I had been doing so far. :grin:
(What is it going to be?)
Hey @t0xic0der I think that we can close this ticket :-D You are Fedora!
