Hello All,
I'm Papa Charlie, a big fan of Fedora and open source. I have been using Fedora on my desktop since the Redhat days. I wanted to mirror my desktop screen on my TV and noticed the feature was missing in Fedora. I looked for someplace to make a feature request but could not really find one. In the process I learned the best way to have a feature implemented is to get involved. I have a rudimentary grasp of C++, PHP, Java and web programming(Javascript). I'm willing to contribute in any way possible to the Fedora project and to improve my coding skills. Thank you.
Regards, Papa Charlie

Hi Papa Charlie! Thanks for your patience on a reply. Welcome aboard to the Fedora Project. Happy to have you here!
For your issue with mirroring your display to a television, I would recommend reaching out in a user support channel for help on how to do this. You can use IRC (#fedora on Freenode IRC), Telegram (https://t.me/fedora), or the users mailing list:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users.lists.fedoraproject.org/
As far as getting involved, have you seen WhatCanIDoForFedora.org? This can be a helpful place to start for finding out what kind of opportunities there are for getting involved with Fedora.

If you have specific questions after that, the Join SIG can help you get started and point you at the right place to go. I've CC'd their mailing list on this reply, but you can also subscribe here:

Hoping to see you around the community!
