jeffiscows intro

[Jeffrey Bucher]

     Hey yall!

         I all ready did a little intro on the matrix server but I'll 
add some stuff from the prompt here.

My names Jeff I'm from NE Ohio Youngstown area if you know where that 
is. Hobbies are film photography,CS2 and learning new things.


  *

    experience with Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) communities/ecosystems:

      o

        So I don't have any direct experience with FOSS other than using
        software and reading toooons of documentation so I can figure
        out how things work lol. I do have a few years experience as an
        activist and organizer. From what I can tell  the structure and
        ways of getting things done are very similar.

      o

        I imagine starting off  im interested in QA seems like a place
        where I can be exposed to different things and learn a bunch.
        One day I'd like to make a career out of Open Source and maybe
        contribute to the Linux kernel.

  *

    My background and skills:

      o

        Ive been messing around with Linux and computer stuff off and on
        since I was a teen. Mostly figuring out how to get free stuff
        and maker it work, because being a broke kid you cant really
        afford new hardware. lol  I wanted originally to college to be a
        programmer but I ended up going to trade school for machining. 
        I did that for a bit then I had my son and wanted to spend more
        time with him so I went into sales. I was laid off last year and
        while I was home  I remembered how much I liked messing around
        with raspberry pi and Linux. So for over a year now I've just
        been studying and learning as much as I can. I decided to go to
        school for Software engineering and I start April 1st. I'm
        pretty excited.

      o

        Currently running the sway spin on my old think pad yoga 12 ,
        Fedora server on my mini pc and workstation 39 on a repurposed
        thin client on my living room TV.  It's pretty much used for
        youtube and steam remote play. Also my desktop is running win
        11. Id go with Linux but Counterstrike still doesn't run well on
        it yet and my school requires me to use it or Mac....

      o

        I have a pretty basic but solid understanding of Linux, how to
        use bash and git. I have a home server running Fedora server .I
        mess around with and I'm using it as a remote Dev server with
        ssh and podman. I plan to also use it as a jellyfin server. Idk
        how I'm gonna connect the hdds I have cuz its a mini pc so maybe
        some type of diy NAS? I want to learn as much as I can about OCI
        containers. I've been learning a bunch about it and I just think
        its neat. Also flatpak they seems to work pretty well(better
        than snap imo) and it seems like the future.

      o

        im currently not super great at programming. I did python a
        bunch a few years ago but took a long break. Seems like a bunch
        has change and im at square one lol. I've been messing around
        with rust since I found out its been introduced into Linux.
        Currently doing the interactive rustlings tutorial. I know basic
        syntax but yeah not making anything crazy anytime soon. I wanna
        make CLI  apps and embedded stuff and just whatever.

  *

    Communication platforms:

      o

        Ive used mailing list in the past when doing organizing but it
        was mostly only used for national/regional  level discussions.
        State and local used slack, discord,signal and traditional
        forums stuff like that.

      o

        I'd say my preferred lately has been discord most people I know
        IRL are on it and the Counter Strike league I'm in uses it.  
        Matrix is pretty awesome I'm using the element client and I'm
        configuring WeeChat to use matrix on my laptop cuz i just love
        terminal apps lol. Not to mention its Open source and I've been
        really making an effort to switch to FOSS wherever I can.

  *

    Time commitment:

      o

        right now a couple hours a week like 5ish. I'm going back to
        school for the first time in like 6 years so I wanna get back in
        the groove. Once I have a good feeling for how the Fedora
        community functions and how schools gonna go I can make a more
        sure answer.


But yeah so far from what I seen the Fedora community is awesome and 
I've been wanting to get involved for a wile now, figured I'd make the 
jump. Looks like my values and the communities line up so I'm excited.  
Any questions for me just ask!

Hi Jeff!

It's great to meet you!

I haven't played CS in years---you reminded me how much I miss it. I do
think one can play it over Steam on Linux now (but I haven't checked in
a long time).

If there's anything at all we can help with, please give us a shout on
any of the communication channels/tickets and so on.

Looking forward to see you around the channels and maybe we should
organise a (another, since I think these have happened before) community
gaming session sometime? 🤔
