Hello @lissalissa! 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. :).
I'll be sure to send a longer response to the mailing list to respond to the other questions, but as for how I heard about the Fedora Project: I've been using linux regularly since like 2006, and was well aware of Red Hat at the time and, by extension, what was at the time the community version of Red Hat: Fedora. I was a teenager, so I have no memory of how I heard about Fedora specifically other than just spending a lot of time in linux web forums, but I've definitely been aware of Fedora for a while. I've been using Fedora as my daily driver OS for a few years now since Ubuntu stopped meeting my needs.
I'll go ahead and work on a mailing list introduction, but I'm so stoked to be here!
Introduction sent to the mailing list!
