Hello @uberyb! Welcome to Fedora!
@uberyb
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. :).
@uberyb, Just wanted to check in if you had gotten a chance to write a small intro about yourself? I didn't see one on the mailing list but I may have missed it. If you haven't gotten around to it yet, you can post it as a comment here or email it to fedora-join@lists.fedoraproject.org.

Alright, I will post a short introduction. This is my first time getting involved in FOSS and figured that a project like Fedora that I believe in would be a good start. My skill set is geared towards development. I have a relatively developed skill set, I've worked as a developer for a few years and I'm currently a CS phd student ( although, I work mostly in theoretical CS ).
I currently have no idea what individual projects I'd want to contribute to, but I plan to shop around and look when I get the time. Thanks for the invite!
Thanks for the update! Do you have some specific types of development you're interested in? We'd be happy to show you around some of the projects we have here to help you get started whenever you have some time!
