#96 Welcome to Fedora @mouse!
Closed: C: Complete 2 years ago by t0xic0der. Opened 3 years ago by t0xic0der.

Hello @mouse! 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! :)

Thank you for opening the ticket, I also posted this on the mailing list.

My name is Tegan-Jean Hillman, I also go by Mouse. I live in Mid-Michigan, which is part of the United States eastern timezone. I am a 35-year-old transgender women. I am currently a culinary student, but has also worked in group homes and as basic home care, specializing in nutrition and physical/mental developmental disabilities.

I have been using Linux since the end of my junior year of high school when a very well known operating system crashed on my computer right before my final exams. Furthermore, I have been a frequent distro-hopper during that time, with most of that time being in Debian based systems because of the laptop I was using. Though I always find myself coming back to Fedora every few years. The few recent editions though have really impressed me. I have also started to move deeper into interactions with a few other users and have really enjoyed the interaction of the community. It really is somewhere I would like to consider my home distro from here on out. This has only grown as I have read the welcome information, and have seen how you are trying to live up to the Four Foundations.

I have always pretty much just been a desktop user, with very few reasons to move onto the server side of things. I use Gnome 3 and KDE Plasma pretty much equally. Recently I have tried to learn a little coding, though I am not far past the hello world side of Python. This is also the first time I have volunteered to a project such as fedora. I think it would be best to start at something like 2-4 hours a week until I learn my way around things.

I really love that here is a diversity team and really have interest in helping there. I think my previous training can be helpful in terms of accessibility and helping to find ways to make Fedora a more inclusive and welcoming space for all. I also would enjoy writing the things that fedora is working, or has worked on, especially in the context of the Foundations. I am sure there are other areas I would be willing to help in if discovered, and will continue as I learn even more about Fedora.

Hi @mouse,

I know that you have been contributing to the diversity and inclusion side of things and have been very active in the community - something that I really appreciate.

I believe that now is the time when we can add that shiny "I am Fedora" label to your welcome ticket, to celebrate you being part of our community!

What do you say @ankursinha @hhlp @alciregi @bt0dotninja?

@mouse, we think that you are awesome in the way you contribute to the community and we appreciate having you here. :D
