- your experience with Free/Open Source Software (FOSS)
communities/ecosystems:
- have you participated in FOSS before, or is this the first time?
-- This is my first time actively participating in the Free and
Open-Source Software community
- how do you imagine your place in a FOSS community?
-- I envision myself as a healthy contributor to the Free
Software community, utilizing my current proficiency in the English
language to serve as a translator. My aim is to assist individuals who
may not be familiar with the language, facilitating a more accessible
and inclusive environment. I aspire to leverage this opportunity to
enhance my collaborative teamwork skills and refine my communication
abilities.
- your background/skills, for example:
- Operating System (Do you use GNU/Linux as your main OS? Is Fedora
Linux your main distribution?)
-- GNU/Linux is my primary OS, and specifically, Fedora Linux
is my preferred distribution.
- non-software development: design (Inkscape/Gimp/?),
music/video/podcasting, marketing, language proficiency
-- In addition to being proficient in the English language, I
also consider myself creative, I find it easy to write and create
stories and poems. In both English and Portuguese, my native language
- software development related: command line, version control:
git/hg/svn/?, rpm/packaging, programming languages/frameworks/utilities,
testing, infrastructure/sysadmin
-- I am currently in university, taking a course in Game
Development. I do not enjoy programming, however. I prefer to write
stories, as stated above. I know the basics of git, having used Github
for my university assignments. And recently, for creating my own fedora
post-installation bash script (albeit extremely simple). I also am
currently taking the CS50 Opencourseware to try and learn coding.
Although I may not possess advanced programming skills or the desire to
develop software, I recognize the advantages of acquiring coding
proficiency.
- your experience in communication platforms:
- have you used mailing lists before?
-- No, this is my first time using and knowing about
mailing lists
- what is your preferred real time chat platform?
-- I have no preference for a communication platform
- how much time are you looking to/are you able to spend on
volunteering (approximate hours per week)?
-- While I do not typically set rigid goals, I am willing
to dedicate a minimum of 1 to 2 hours per week to volunteering. I don't
have a limit to how many hours I am willing to contribute. While "as
much as I can" is not a valid answer, I do look forward to contribute my
time and effort into the project

Hi Ian,
Welcome to the community! Great to have you here!
Please do let us know if there's anything we can help with. There's a
lot of writing in the community---the magazine, the community blog,
documentation, translation, the podcast, and of course helping other
community members on Ask Fedora.
The "Welcome to Fedora" ticket we opened for you should have a lot of
these listed/linked to already, but I'll add them here again for others
too:

Oh, and I too (like everyone else :D) have a post-installation script.
Here it is:

I rarely fresh-install now, though, since the upgrades work so so well.
