Hello @nasirhm !

Thank you for the welcome, I've sent my presentation on the mail list. Let me know if it is OK.
I've mentioned on it that I made a very little contribution on downloading media writers links websites, I hope there will be more contributions!

As I mentioned in the email, I'm looking to contribute on Golang backend projects.

Let me know if I can do anything to find the best way to accomplish it.

Ok @masch, I've granted a FAS group temporary membership. In this way you are allowed to edit the wiki.

(Reference: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/fedora-join@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/GZL46S3GFX4XJ3XWP6V3SRBMHXPF2YC4/)

Thanks for the membership! @alciregi It was great to improve the wiki!
I hope that I could find some programming tasks to do more contributions!

I was going to reply to your comment on the neurofedora blog, but thought this ticket would be a better place.

Fedora, like all Linux distributions is "downstream". This means we don't develop all the software that we include in Fedora. We take software from "upstream" developers and build/package/test it to provide users with the Fedora artefacts. This is true for all of it---the kernel, drivers, all packages in Fedora.

Now, the package maintainers act as liaisons between the upstream developers and the Fedora community. They keep in touch with the developers. If a Fedora user files a bug on the bugzilla, the package maintainer first looks at it, and if required files a corresponding bug at the upstream bug tracker---github or whatever they use. Lots of package maintainers do more---they may be part of the upstream development team (lots of Red Hat folks help maintain the kernel, gcc, etc. in Fedora and are also part of the upstream development teams, for example). If they're not part of the upstream development team, they may still submit patches to fix bugs and so on.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Staying_close_to_upstream_projects

The only direct software development that the Fedora community does is related to community infrastructure---tools like the build system, the mailing lists, the badges system, FAS. Stuff that is required to enable the community to do its work.

NeuroFedora is just a small group of Fedora contributors, so all of this also applies to us. The only point that makes us "NeuroFedora" is that we're focused on neuroscience related software, not just general software for daily use. There are lots of SIGs in Fedora, including the Go SIG who do the same thing---they package/build/test Go software to make it available to Fedora users:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Go

So, if you are looking for programming tasks:

• help maintain packages that you use---you can collaborate with upstream developers and help improve their software, it depends on how much time you have and what your interests are:
  • https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers
  • https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group
• help build tools for the community by working with the Fedora infrastructure team:
  • https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/GettingStarted

If you are looking to "code", find the upstream projects of the software that you use and see where you can help there. All contributions to upstream code will reach all downstream Linux distributions, so you'll still be helping Fedora.

I hope that helps a little.

Hello @masch,
it is a while that this ticket is not updated.
How are you? How it is going?
Did you find something interesting? Do you have any question?

Hello @alciregi
Thank you for asking me.
In the last time, based on the great reply from ankursinha, I was trying to learn about the internal process on Fedora community work. I did a couple of questions on IRC's channels and I found wonderful help from the community.
But to be honest, I didn't find any particular task in order to contribute.
Maybe I should recap all the information that I got and ask you again about how I should continue  in order to get the next steps.
What do you think?

Hey @masch, it has been a while since we have heard from you. How is it going? Did you find anything interesting to work on? Also, should you have questions or queries - feel free to comment under this ticket and we'd be pleased to answer.

Hanging out with folks can help obtain a lot of information on what has been going on in the community and ways to meaningfully contribute. I would suggest you take conversations on Matrix/IRC/Mailing list with the respective part of Fedora you are interested in and know more about them first (Not what they do, but how they do it :sweat_smile:)

Well, Hi @masch

I'm pinging/nudging/poking request for a status update...

we don't heard you for a while..

How is your Journey?
Did you find any interesting things to colaborate?
Any comment? any qustion?

about your last comment, you say you didn't find any particular task in order to contribute.

Do you have any particular order where we can help you to make the right decision?

fell free to comment under this ticket and we do our best to help you.

altought you've had a temporary membership approved.....

NOTE

you've done two PR-> as a conclusion you've had and understand of how fedora works....

Hi,

It has been a while since the last time we heard from you. I hope you are doing well and I just dropped by to see if you have found something interesting to work on. :-)

We love interacting so please feel free to reach out to us if there are any questions/concerns that you may have regarding how you can contribute to our projects.

@alciregi @hhlp @ankursinha @bt0dotninja @siddharthvipul1,

I am closing this ticket as inactive. Could you please take a look into removing the temporary membership?

I don't have super-power to a complish maybe another member can do that...

Hi!

I'm sorry for my big delay response, but I want to try again to find out
how to keep contribute on Fedora.
Could you help me with that?
Thanks!

@masch there is no problem in the delay
You are always welcome to chat with us.
As stated previosuly, probably, there are many ways to "contribute". There is no need to write code, debug the kernel or the like.
Contribution, I think, could be hanging around in the community, too. "Hey I'm here, I'm following such discussion, I think this and that" is a form of contribution. Yep, some actions could look not so compelling. You look at other people writing a bunch of complex documents or articles and you can think "hey, but I'm unuseful". It is not true. A community is alive if there are many people, even people that don't write a line of code or a line of documentation.
So there is no problem. Take your time.
Did you take the annual survey?

Hey there,

Hope you are doing well and enjoyed your time with us at Nest With Fedora 2021. Should you have missed out on our talks, a recording of those would be made available very soon on our official YouTube channel. I reach out to know if you have found something exciting to contribute to and be a part of in the community. With that, I am marking this ticket with its third and final progress check.

Hey there,

It has been a while since the last time we got to hear from you. As we are beyond the third and final progress check, I am going to go ahead and close this ticket. Please feel free to come back at any point in time to reopen this ticket, if you wish to continue on from wherever you left off.
