Hello all,
My name is Daniel McCrevan (dmccrevan on IRC). I am currently an undergraduate computer science student at RPI. I am very excited to become more involved with the fedora project community. A little background on why I want to contribute more to the fedora project's community: I had a great experience interning at Red Hat during the summer of 2017, and through this I was exposed to open source technologies & communities that I really enjoyed being apart of. I continued this interest by joining my school's open source club, and now I want to expand it even more. I've done a bit of research on different groups within the fedora project community, and I found that CommOps seems like a really cool opportunity because it is both technical & non-technical. So far, I have only done technical contributions. I actively contribute to open source projects in my school's open source club, and I also have contributed to open source chat-bot related technologies such as Botkit and Microsoft Luis's node.js's SDK.
I will be attending the weekly meeting this Friday to learn more about this community!
Hi Daniel, welcome to the CommOps mailing list!
Happy to hear about your good experience with open source at Red Hat and your university. With Richie Young and the Mozilla Open Source Student Network at RPI?
Our meeting time is still in flux because of a conflict with the new time. We'll get this figured out this week.
Meanwhile, it's great you're interested in CommOps! To get a better picture of what we do, I recommend reading our updated sub-project description here:

To get involved and join CommOps, you can read more here:

You said you're interested in technical and non-technical contributions – are you interested in focusing on one more than the other? A lot of our technical contributions focus around data and metrics tools in Fedora. Our non-technical contributions include writing and project management skills.
I hope these pages give a better picture of how you can contribute. Do you have any questions for us?
