[fedora-commops] Issue #95 `[Onboarding Series] DotNet SIG`
by Pagure
rhea reported a new issue against the project: `fedora-commops` that you are following:
``
This issue is a stub for working out ideas, concepts, and other steps involved for contributors who would like to officially join the DotNet team.
## Problem
The goal of the dotnet SIG is to establish dotnet presence in Fedora, from providing information to the user, through taking care of dotnet packages in future Fedora releases, to providing information and help to other packagers.
## Current state
Basic [wiki page[1]](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DotNet) was drafted, [mailing list[3]](https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/dotnet-sig.lists.fed... and [FAS group[4]](https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/group/view/dotnet-sig) created, and we are currently looking for a good [time](http://whenisgood.net/fedora-dotnet) for IRC [meetings](https://pagure.io/fedora-dotnet/issue/1). During the first IRC meeting we should discuss the future goals and next steps of our progress ([agenda](https://pagure.io/fedora-dotnet/issue/2))
## Questions & Ideas
* **Wiki page** - Everything is currently at [wiki/dotnet[1]](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DotNet) while I would like _this_ page to contain general info about dotnet on Fedora, info for the user and packagers how to use dotnet, etc... and to move the organizational part about the team and joining it to [wiki/SIGs/dotnet[2]](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/DotNet)
* **FAS Group & Mailing List** - I'm not entirely sure about this, what would it ideally look like in the future, however for now there is no reason to do anything and we can keep it as it is with a single group and list. The idea for the future is, that if dotnet becomes popular and the group would grow, we should split off the core team and create new fas group and mailing list `dotnet-devel` or something along those lines, while the SIG would remain generic and public group of people with common interest.
* **What next?** (technical side) - This should be answered during the first (above mentioned) IRC meeting, it should go along the lines of getting all the current problems together (pagure issues) and starting to look into them one by one - we should come up with priorities, etc... Next steps in organization of the group are already outlined and questions are raised in the above points.

Self Introduction: Radka Janek
by Radka Janekova
Hello!
My name is Radka, known as Rhea around the internet. I've been living all
over the Europe, so I can't really answer the question "where are you from"
with a single place :P
I recently joined the RedHat team, so why not put on my Fedora as well? =)
As former game-programmer I have my code in games like Angry Birds or World
of Tanks, and I'm still very active in the gaming community. I'm admin of
several Discord servers, from gaming to development related and some of
them are partnered with Discord. I've got my own community-managment bot to
help me with that job as well.
I'm the dotnet-on-linux weird codergirl =)
Best regards,
Radka

Readying the Fedora Join channels to receive newcomers
by Ankur Sinha
Hiya!
I've sent this out to the announce mailing list, and a post on the
commblog is scheduled to go live on November 10 too. Please spread the
word :)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello everyone,
Like any FOSS community project, Fedora relies heavily on volunteers.
It is, therefore, no surprise that we're always looking to increase our
contributor base. There is always so much to be done. Of course, many
teams work in harmony to keep Fedora ticking. Each team tends to have
its own "on-boarding process" for newcomers, which if you've been
around recently, you'll have noticed CommOps[0] has been working on
improving one by one.
Where do we point newcomers now?
--------------------------------
We already have some tools that help people find the right team and
task to get started with. whatcanidoforfedora.org[1], for example, does
an excellent job of matching people to the right team based on
their skills and interests. Another great place to quickly find
something easy to work on is our easy fix ticket list[2]. Last, but not
least, the new Fedora Hubs project[3], which is still a work in
progress, is going to make it even easier to see what's going on in the
community and where one can pitch in.
Talking to a human
------------------
In spite of all the tooling, newcomers seem to respond better to human
interaction. Integration is much easier when you have people to speak
to or query. Even while they're still picking up on the tools and
processes of various teams, they already feel part of the community. It
gives them that bit of confidence needed to actively take part in
discussions or volunteer to take up tasks.
With this in mind, some of us came together to set up the Fedora Join
SIG[4]. Our goal? Simply to set up certain channels where newcomers and
contributors can mix. We've started small with the usual IRC and
mailing list.
- #fedora-join on Freenode[5]
- fedora-join AT lists.fedoraproject.org[6]
We need your help too!
----------------------
Before we begin tweaking our public-facing resources to funnel
newcomers into these channels, we want to make sure that we have enough
contributors available here to receive queries. The purpose of this e-
mail is to ask you to please add these channels to the list that you
already monitor. The more contributors from different parts of the
project we have in the channel, the higher the chances are of newcomers
finding interesting people to work with, interesting things to work on,
all while making friends who mostly outlast the Fedora release.
So, please do hang out in our IRC channel and mailing list to help
newcomers when you can.
Tip: Most IRC clients let you monitor a channel for keywords. For
example, in irssi[7], the following command would monitor the channel
for the word "design":
/hilight -channels #fedora-join design

Hello all,
Due to unforeseen circumstances, I will not be able to attend the
meeting time tomorrow. Is there anyone else available who might be able
to chair the meeting? I can still help prepare the meeting agenda, but I
will not be able to be in channel during the meeting.
Thanks!
