Hello @rippedlolz ! 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! :)
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:
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)?
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. :).
have you participated in FOSS before, or is this the first time? This is the first time how do you imagine your place in a FOSS community? I don't know, someone people don't hate :) 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?) I am brand new to Linux entirely lol 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: I have experience in the Adobe suite lol. I have a little experience in GIMP
have you used mailing lists before? Nope what is your preferred real time chat platform? Element/Matrix have you helped with moderating/administering forums? Yes how much time are you looking to/are you able to spend on volunteering (approximate hours per week)? maybe 2 hours?
I am very new to Fedora and Linux entirely. I have been using Windows my entire life up until Microsoft called in a nuclear strike called the update, nuking my computer into the point that not even Microsoft Support could fix. My hardcore linux friend laugh at me and said "You see, Linux would never do that to you", he then proceeded to list 10000000000000 other reasons that Linux was better. So to shut him up I said, actually it is GNU/Linux and that I would give it a shot. So I guess I am here now. If you ever want to reach me... @rippedlolz:matrix.org or @cacakaca:matrix.org (Most likely the cacakaca one)

Hi rippedlolz !
Is there anything in Fedora we can guide you to?
Just checking up on your 'welcom to Fedora' ticket.
Have a great day, Mat
