Hi Everyone,
I'm interested in joining the Diversity Team. I'm a Fedora
Ambassador based out of Regina, SK, Canada. I'm returning to being
involved with Fedora after being away for two years due to a medical
disability, Epilepsy.
As an ambassador, I am moderately active in the local Linux
community, helping
start the official Red Hat User Group. At RHUG meetings I almost
always talk about what is upstream, or specifcally about Fedora. At
the last meeting I presented on Cockpit.
As someone with an invisible disability, with atypical seizures, I
have dealt with the stigma cause by looking and acting
falling-down-drunk at work.
At work, I am responsible for one of our big data analasys tools,
and ensuring it is accessable for our blind users.
I want to join the Diversity and Inclusion Team, as I believe that
as an Ambassador, my responsiblity is to introduce Fedora to everyone.
Hi David,
welcome back! We're happy to have you here with us.
Thanks for sharing a bit of your background with us and it's awesome to
know that you are interested to be a part of diversity team.
To begin with, you can check out the open tickets on our Pagure repo to
follow the tasks and work this team is working on:

You are more than welcome to comment on any of these or feel free to
open a new issue if you want to propose a new idea.
Here is more about the team -

We might have our next meeting on Friday , but we are also discussing a
new meeting time - so please check out again this mailing list when we
announce it.
During the meeting we will go through the tickets that have higher
priority and need help/work, so would be great if you can attend.
Welcome again to our mailing list! :)
Hi David, welcome! Happy for you to join us here on the list. Let us
know if you have any specific feedback about D&I in the Fedora community
or if any of our ongoing work in Pagure sounds interesting.
Thanks for your continued work contributing to Fedora – I look forward
to seeing you around. :)
