CommOpses,
Those of you who are already in the #fedora-commops channel will notice commops-bot is
relaying a number of fedmsgs. One that I watch for carefully, is the FPCA sponsorship
messages. This fedmsg is triggered when someone signs up for a FAS account, and signs the
Fedora Project Contributor Agreement. It would be *super* useful to develop a
"Welcome to Fedora" message that gets fired off to the associated email address,
which says something along the lines of:
---Welcome Template---
Thank you for joining the Fedora Project!
Our mission is to lead the advancement of Free and Open Source Software and content as a
collaborative community of practice. Fedora wouldn't be what it is today without all
the time and effort of thousands of volunteers all over the world, which now includes
you!
If you don't already know where you want to get started, we have a tool, a
"sorting hat" if you will, to help match your interests and skills with existing
subprojects within our ecosystem. Just visit
http://whatcanidoforfedora.org, and answer a
couple of questions :)
If you are already an Open source developer or contributor looking for places to make
impact, you can always visit our EasyFix page where we list tasks that are prime for new
folks who want to get involved:
https://fedoraproject.org/easyfix/
Regardless of where you'd like to contribute, all of us have the ability to help grow
the Fedora Project. One easy way is to help spread the word by following our social media
channels and publicly engaging with and supporting other potential contributors and
users:

and introduce yourself.
Welcome Welcome!

---Welcome Template---
I suppose I should file a ticket somewhere for this, since it has been on my mind for a
while, but if any of you have thoughts, input and patches are more than welcome :)
Looking Forward,
--RemyD.
