Welcome to the mailing list Viorel, 

Several of us are / were like you on the Sysadmin part of things.  Feel free to start hanging out in irc channels to get familiar with the workflow and  what you may like / or like to force thy skills to better on.

Hi all, I'm just starting up with Fedora as a volunteer and one of the groups I
would like to help out in is CommOps so I'm just "going by the book" ;) and
sending out this introductory email as noted on the CommOps group page along
with the two required "pieces of identification":

   IRC nick: smkr
   TZ: Mountain Time

Being at a stage in my life where I have more free time in hand, volunteering
for Fedora is just another opportunity I would like to use for giving back to a
community that has made my cyber life at both work and home so enjoyable for
the past 10 years. At the same time there is so much more fun stuff to learn
about, I love the open source atmosphere so all in all I'm excited to start
helping out with anything I can. There is no boring job for when it comes to
hacking open source :)

I've been a sysadmin all my life so while I'm quite comfortable taking on any
work in that area, I can't consider myself a DevOps as my programming skills
aren't at that level (unless someone else considers Bash a DevOps language
because of its associative arrays, I don't though :) so what I'd like to get
out of this experience is knowledge exchange on the dev side of things.  I get
along fairly well with Ansible, although it may be better suited for the
Infrastructure group (which I'm going to apply for as soon as I get past the
"observation" stage). I'm no stranger to programming and can read Python,
understand it and provide easy fixes by following the existing code structure,
but that's where all ends.

Where I'd like to start in CommOps? Anything that requires to get my hands
dirty as there is no better way to learn. From reading the CommOps wiki page I
would say that any of the areas would work with the exception of on-boarding
but at this point I'm surely in the need of your guidance...

Thanks for providing this opportunity and if I missed anything let me know.
