hi everyone!
i am writing this introductionary mail to introduce myself to the team
and participants of diversity&inclusion from fedora. let us start with a
little about my persona. i'm quite new to fedora, but since joining and
getting into the project, diversity&inclusion is what had my attention
from the very beginning, as i am well aware of how diversity and
multiculturallity in projects, such as fedora, aswell as the inclusion
of women in tech can be benefitial. and because i know, how important
the inclusion of women, aswell as diversity is, i am looking forward
into joining the group for inclusion & diversity on fedora, so that that
together with successful teamwork we do our best on working towards and
improving the future development of women in tech to guarantee the
diversity of our fedora project, we all like for many years to come.
from a more technical viewpoint, i like the edge, that fedora has
regarding its software repositories always being up to date with every
release to come. as with other communities, i have a
year-long-passion&history with foss&the communities to it&several
projects being open&free,just as fedora is. as of yet, there is a few
areas,i am interested within fedora. i am mainly looking into
contributing to d&i,because of its importance,aswell as contributing to
commops,communication,marketing,social media and stuff related to the
communicational representation of fedora. since bad advertising, kills a
good product, it is even more important to indicate the
diversial&inclusional part of fedora as an key-point. therefor i am
looking forward to attending several events in the future, where foss,
fedora, diversity & inclusion of women can be promoted, to build up and
reach masses to create&reach awareness for the importance of diversity
&inclusion for such big communities, as fedora is. i'm looking forward
into getting in touch with as many of you, so that together as a team,
we can be working towards our goals for inclusion and diversity within
fedora&beyond.
Hi, welcome to our mailing list and welcome to the Fedora Project
community. :) Thanks for sharing your excitement on getting involved. If
you are looking for something to get started with, consider hosting a
Fedora Women's Day in your local community. This is an international and
regional event hosted by folks from countries all around the world. You
can learn more about them here:
https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/call-for-fedora-womens-day-2019-p...
Otherwise, I suggest following the ticket discussions in the Pagure repo
to learn more about what we are working on:

I hope this info is helpful. Also, you forgot to tell us your name. :)
Hope to see you around.
