About You: Hi everyone :-), I'm Dennis. The first time I came across Fedora was about 12 years ago, when a good friend of mine showed me his installation. Back then I used Linux distributions mainly to play around with small home servers and such, but stupid me wasn't "brave enough" to daily drive the penguin on his main hardware. However, I fortunately took the change to migrate a few years ago after my previous OS crashed badly and settled on Fedora after my distro hopping phase. I have an IT background and I'm currently employed in the sw dev / sw testing sphere. But beyond that, I'm also passionate about creating and repairing stuff. Which is why I co-founded a Repair-Cafe and a FabLab in my hometown, including actively working in their management / steering committees at the time. Although I'm quite an introvert, I really like to talk to people about my "passion projects" (e.g. about our FabLab at Maker Faire) and doing other non-technical tasks. Speaking of repairability, I also like to hang around in the Framework Laptop community, discussing tech and helping others.

You and the Fedora Project: I enjoy working on the german translations (dnf5 at the moment), and already have some smaller wiki gardening tasks on my personal todo list too. :-) But I'm concentrating on on-boarding myself to L10N, further familiarizing with the overall project (from a contribution perspective), and getting involved. So, let's see what the future holds. :-)

Speaking of wiki gardening... are we still supposed to use the self-introduction template? ;-)

Best regards, Dennis (he/his)
