Hello! 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. :).
Hello everyone,
I have experience in web development, primarily working with Java, JavaScript, and Python. While I’ve used Linux (Ubuntu) before, I never made it my daily OS—until now. Since starting my career in software, I’ve encountered many FOSS projects and realized how essential the Linux CLI is. That’s why I’m now committed to learning and exploring Linux more deeply, with Fedora as my first RPM-based distro.
What really drew me to Fedora was the welcoming atmosphere—I’ve never felt this level of support while learning Linux before. The philosophy behind Fedora’s design and its programs for newcomers are things I truly appreciate. I’m excited to learn from the amazing people here and contribute to the growth of this community!
Looking forward to the journey!
Best regard,
Phuc Nguyen
