Hello @nayaksatya4332 ! 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. :).
As of now i dont have any past experience in FOSS contributions. - Contributing to Fedora will be the first time. - In FOSS community i imagine myself as developer looking forward to contribute wherever my skills can be helpful - I am a FullStackDeveloper with 3+years of industry experience i have a significant exposure to various technologies from java,typescript and cloud echo system. Windows is my main OS but i have used shell scripts in order to automate various tasks.I have used wsl,ubuntu,git,npm,maven,gradle,java,springboot,typescript,node,angular,junit,mockito,jest,CDK, docker etc. - I haven't used mailing lists before.Preferred chat platform is teams. - I am looking to give around 15 hours a week. I came to know about fedora project while i was just browsing through internet on linux kernel development so i got know Fedora can be good point to start the journey and after which i ended up here.😀

Hi @nayaksatya4332
Hopefully we'll get you on Fedora as your preferred platform one day :)
Have you had a chance to look around Fedora? With three years experience, you surely have some skills that could come in handy. The community is large, and there are many people to talk to. The Matrix community is very friendly, feel free to drop into any channels that interest you and say hi, lurk or ask questions.
We are here if you need to ask any questions or would like directions to anywhere in the community.
Best Regards, Mat
