Hello asmitbm! Welcome to Fedora!
asmitbm
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. :).
Metadata Update from @alciregi: - Issue assigned to asmitbm
I have introduced myself in the mailing list: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/fedora-join@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/FSBYD5OBBDB2BSIDU6AYFTDXOKZZITZ4/
Hello @alciregi
As I continue learning about this community, I also have interests in community operations, social media, and event organization. Do you know of anyone working in these areas who I could connect with?

Hi Asmit, What a great set of skills you have. Did you manage to relocate yet? I myself am thinking of doing something similar.
Did the people on the Community Ops give you what you need? I find the Matrix channels a bit sparsely populated.
There is always a need for outreach and Community Opperations, where ever you have landed. A lot of Fedora operations require self-starting and self direction - but we can provide support and very limited resources.
If you would like to talk with me or anyone on the team about anything please do get in touch again.
Best Regards, Mat
PS, awesome website you have!

Hi Asmit, Flock (Fedora conference) is coming upo shortly, if you would like to help out at all I can connect you?
We at Join SIG are doing a talk, and I need some slides made for the talk, if you would be interested in designing them let me know.
All the best, Mat

Hey Mat,
Sorry for the late reply! I’ve been busy with relocation, FOSDEM, and German bureaucracy.
Did you manage to relocate yet? I myself am thinking of doing something similar. Yes, I’ve relocated to Berlin for my job! If you would like to talk with me or anyone on the team about anything please do get in touch again. Sure! I’ve had little time to engage with the community since I’m still adjusting to the work culture here. PS, awesome website you have! Thank you! :)) Flock (Fedora conference) is coming up shortly, if you would like to help out at all I can connect you? I’d love to help! We at Join SIG are doing a talk, and I need some slides made for it. If you’d be interested in designing them, let me know. I’m up for it! Do you have any previous references, or should I design something from scratch?

Looking forward to catching up!

Hey Asmit, I do not envy working with German beaurocracy!
Here are some links to previous slides. I can probably get the raw slides sometime soon, I'll get back to you but here are some links to look at for now. https://github.com/gridhead/gridhead/blob/master/NestWithFedora2021_1141IST_10Aug2021_FedoraJoinSIGNinjaTalk.pdf https://github.com/gridhead/gridhead/blob/master/FL34ReleaseParty_0936IST_17Aug2021_HowToJoinFedora.pdf https://github.com/gridhead/gridhead/blob/master/FHPI2022_08Jul2022_HowToJoinFedora.pdf https://github.com/gridhead/gridhead/blob/master/FL38ReleaseParty_1354IST_02Jun2023_HowToJoinFedora.pdf
However I was thinking of coming up with something new and different, we have a couple of months - so if we get a template down soon should be pretty easy.
I can't find the link to help out at Flock at this minute, I will look again tomorrow as it is almost 2am now.
Cheers! Mat
Thank you for sharing these links, I will go through it next week and let you know if I have any doubts.
Cheers, Asmit
