Hallo everyone, I'm Hana - artist, systems/embedded programmer, and hobbyist electrical/aerospace tinkerer. First heard about Fedora from a Reddit distro war thread, but didn't care much about Linux until I needed Ubuntu fro ROS2/Gazebo. Absolutely despised Snap, that kicked off the FOSS rabbit hole, and I landed on Fedora pretty quick for its balanced cutting-edge technology and stability. Been my daily driver for ~4 for for the entire 8 months I've been using Linux and honestly not looking to switch, it just works for what I need.
This is my first time actively participating in a FOSS community, and I'm excited to learn how Fedora operates and contributes to the broader ecosystem. I'm hoping to maintain useful packages, learn from the experienced community members, and eventually help guide others who are just starting out - paying forward the kind of support I'm hoping to receive now.
I have some writing experience from contributing to school newsletter and Wikipedia. Technical side, I work primarily in Rust with experience in C/C++. I'm comfortable with backend and systems work (Tokio, Axum, SQLx, systemd), DevOps tooling (Docker, Podman, Git, GitHub Actions), and low-level reverse engineering tools (Ghidra, GDB, radare2, Wireshark).
I haven't used mailing lists before, but I'm looking forward to getting familiar with them. For real time chat, I'm using Element for Matrix channels. I haven't moderated forums before, but I'm eager to learn community management practices. I can commit around 12 hours per week to volunteering and contributing to Fedora projects.
Looking forward to contributing however much I can :))
