#15 Welcome to Fedora @narainkarthikv!

Welcome

Hello @narainkarthikv ! 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.

These links 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:

Next, when you're ready, 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).

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! :)

Get to know each other better

In addition, could you provide some information to understand your requirements
better? (You can write them in the introduction, or answer here if you feel more
comfortable).

For example:

  • your experience with Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) communities/ecosystems:

    • have you participated in FOSS before, or is this the first time?
    • how do you imagine your place in a FOSS community?
  • your background/skills, for example:

    • community development and outreach, campaigning, journalism
    • Operating System (Do you use GNU/Linux as your main OS? Is Fedora Linux your main distribution?)
    • non-software development: design (Inkscape/Gimp/?), music/video/podcasting, marketing, language proficiency
    • software development related: command line, version control: git/hg/svn/?, rpm/packaging, programming languages/frameworks/utilities, testing, infrastructure/sysadmin
  • your experience in communication platforms:

    • have you used mailing lists before?
    • what is your preferred real time chat platform?
    • have you helped with moderating/administering forums?
  • how much time are you looking to/are you able to spend on volunteering (approximate hours per week)?

Remember that this is not a job interview at all. This is just an icebreaker to
help all your new friends get to know you quicker. The better we know you, the
better we can support you in identifying Fedora activities that promise to be
relevant for you.

Please write how much/whatever you wish. :).


Introduction

Hello everyone!

I'm Narain Karthik, a passionate web developer excited to join this vibrant community. My interests lie in creating dynamic and engaging web applications. I'm enthusiastic about contributing to Fedora's web development projects and collaborating with like-minded individuals to learn and grow together. I thrive in team environments and have a strong passion for creativity.

Fedora is one of the best distros I've used so far, and I'm eager to contribute not only to web applications but also to package managers and other important repositories.

Looking forward to working with you all!

Best regards,
Narain Karthik

Hi Narain,

Welcome, great to have you here. Please do go through the links above. They should give you an idea of what/why/where/what/when the community does things, and hopefully help you find lots of things that you'd be interested in.

If there's anything we can help with, please do let us know here or on any of the community channels.
