Hi all,
My name is Emil van der Westhuizen. I am a computer engineering graduate from South
Africa. I work full time as a full stack web developer. I'm interested in getting more
exposure to/learning about developing services, applications (gtk and command line), and
lower level system components.
Experience with Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) communities/ecosystems:
This will be my first time contributing to an open source project.
I hope to learn a lot and make more and more significant
contributions to the open source projects that I love and use on a
daily basis.
If anyone would be kind enough to offer some mentorship and help me
get on my feet with the fedora project and making contributions, I
would be very grateful.
Background/skills:
I've only been using Linux (and some FreeBSD) operating
systems for 7 years now. Fedora is my distribution of choice and
it's what I use on my personal machines.
I'm proficient with Linux and administering it from the command
line. I'm very familiar with git and use it daily.
Programming languages I mainly use and have experience with:
- Python
- Javascript (and some frontend frameworks, mostly Vue)
- Rust
Experience in communication platforms:
- I have not used mailing lists before.
- I'm open to using any chat platform but do prefer open source solutions.
- I've not moderated or administered forums before.
- I will be setting a target of contributing 2 to 4 hours a week minimum and work my way
up to contributing more.
