Welcome Dolores!!
I'm sure we will learn a ton from your experiences and have a fantastic
interaction with other groups. We are organizing our first activity, the
Fedora Women Day, so please, feel free to ping any of us at IRC. We held
bi-monthly meetings, yet, we are talking like crazy every single day (at
least to say hi!)
Fantastic news to have even more people aboard!

Hiya Dolores, and welcome to Fedora CommOps! We're happy to have you here.
:)
Community outreach and diversity efforts are one of the things CommOps is
helping with in Fedora. Eventually, there might be a formal Diversity
working group down the line too, with tatica's recent appointment as the
Diversity Adviser. For me personally, it's really cool to see people from
other distributions and communities join forces to accomplish the same
types of goals. There's so many things we can all help each other with and
that type of cross-community collaboration is what the spirit of open
source is all about.
We're looking forward to having you here in both CommOps and Fedora. If
you have any questions about anything, please feel free to ask either in
IRC or the mailing list at any time. :)
