Hey Folks.
I was exploring how to contribute with the project, and I saw this mailing list. Not sure if I need to open an issue by myself in pagure, so just in case I didn't.
Some introduction:
My name is Claudio and I'm currently living in Switzerland. Some more details:
-
your experience with Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) communities/ecosystems: - I've been a FOSS user all my life, but I have never contributed directly to any project. I'm planning to change that, and that's why i'm here. -
your background/skills, for example: - I have worked in the CyberSecurity Industry for 20 years now. - My first linux was Slackware 8, but I have used almost every mainstream distribution that has crossed my desk (Redhat 7, Debian, Ubuntu, Opensuse Arch, etc). Im currently on Fedora - I'm fluent in English, and Spanish. - Coding skills include Python, Go, and im beginning to look at Rust. I would like to contribute to maintaining some packages but I have no previous experience on that matter. - I also have experience in server administration. -
your experience in communication platforms: - I have used mailing-lists all my life, and I'm also active in Telegram, Matrix or Discord. - I would prefer to use Matrix as Real time platform. - I have experience moderating IRC and Telegram channels, and also in the past some forums related to technology. - My current expectation is to be able to contribute around 4 hours a week.
Looking forward to contributing!

Great, here's your ticket:
https://pagure.io/fedora-join/WelcomeToFedora/issue/6
I've added a couple of "I" (interest) tags, but please feel free to add/modify the metadata there as you see fit.
Thank you so much! I'll take a look to the issue and follow it there.

Greetings!
could you please introduce yourself (preferably on the list) so that the community can get to know you? (Interests, skills, anything you wish to say about yourself really).
My name is Ellis Low, my fedora project account name is ‘ellis’
I have worked as a software engineer for about twenty years. My first Linux was Slackware on a Pentium 90. I have been a Mac user since OSX came out in 2001; I was excited for OSX because I used NeXT computers in a college lab. For fun I program games on PICO8.
My skills include application architecture, algorithms, and readable code. My favorite language is Python, but I also like C.
I am interested in finding friends and community in my programming work, which is one of the reasons I am checking out the Fedora community. ‘friends’ is a foundation! I’m considering going to Flock and DevConf in August.
Finally, could you let us know how you learned about the Fedora project? Was it from a colleague, or social media, for example?
I am applying for jobs at Red Hat. One of the Red Hatters I talked to suggested I join an open source project and meet the community and make some contributions.
If you have any questions at all, please ask!
I am looking into helping with Anaconda, Fedora Infrastructure, and or possibly Cockpit. Any comments welcome and otherwise I will be digging in using what docs, wikis and webpages I can find.
your experience with Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) communities/ecosystems: have you participated in FOSS before, or is this the first time?
first time
how do you imagine your place in a FOSS community?
find a ticket, read some discussion, submit a PR (does it work that way?)
your background/skills, for example: community development and outreach, campaigning, journalism
none
Operating System (Do you use GNU/Linux as your main OS? Is Fedora Linux your main distribution?)
Linux is where my professional software runs. I write backend applications that run in web/api servers.
non-software development: design (Inkscape/Gimp/?), music/video/podcasting, marketing, language proficiency
I’m happy to be live interviewed or talk with and to people but I don’t consider these skills yet, just natural charm!
software development related: command line
yes
version control: git/hg/svn/?
git
rpm/packaging
want to learn
programming languages/frameworks/utilities
Python preferred. Will work with anything.
testing
Early and often. I have opinions and experience.
infrastructure/sysadmin
I like keeping sysadmins happy but don’t do much administration myself.
your experience in communication platforms: have you used mailing lists before?
Yes
what is your preferred real time chat platform?
I installed Element to access Matrix but will use whatever my team uses.
have you helped with moderating/administering forums?
in less civilized times, yes, but not recently.
how much time are you looking to/are you able to spend on volunteering (approximate hours per week)?
about 10-20 hours a week until I find full time employment. I hope continuing to participate will be part of my job.
thank you for having me here!
Ellis
