New list member introduction
by Anthony Papillion 10 Apr '17

10 Apr '17

Hello Everyone! I'm Anthony, a long-time Fedora user (since the days of Fedora Core) and a huge fan. As a software developer, I've been considering volunteering for the project for quite some time but never seem to find enough time to write and debug enough code in my spare time to make contributing in that area worthwhile for the project. So I've been looking for other ways to contribute to the project and I think that CommOps might just be it! So this, hopefully, will serve as my introduction to the community and I truly look forward to getting to know everyone and contributing to making Fedora and the community even better. A bit about me: I'm 42, live in Oklahoma with my dog and two cats. Own a small software development and technology services company and enjoy playing piano, geocaching, and cooking for fun. Of course, I've got a passion for technology with Linux being nearest and dearest to my heart. I started with the system back in the old Red Hat Linux days, still use RHEL and have added Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, and Arch to the mix for fun. Anyway, I do hope that's enough. Look forward to meeting everyone. Anthony

Greetings, new member of CommOps
by David Eisenstein 08 Apr '17

08 Apr '17

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, My name is David Eisenstein, and I am interested in doing contributions to the Fedora Project. I am familiar with Fedora, and have run a couple of versions of Fedora, just not recently. I do run a couple of versions of CentOS (6 and 7) on virtual machines on my home PC, utillizing Fedora EPEL packages. (I prefer running CentOS because there is a lot more stability and much longer life-cycle than Fedora. Will get going with Fedora VM though soon.) I used to be a contributor to Fedora, a number of years ago. The project was called Fedora Legacy, and I was quite active with it for a couple of years -- creating SRPM and RPM packages, tracking down security issues, doing QA, working with Jesse Keating who worked for a number of years for Red Hat as the Fedora Release Engineer. Have kept up my Linux skills and am wanting to (re)start giving back to the community as well as hone my Linux skills to help me qualify for work in the DevOps field or something similar with Red Hat Enterprise Linux skills. Am studying to become (at least) RHCE certified, at present. I have already a wiki page at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DavidEisenstein which has information about what I used to do in the old dead Fedora Legacy Project. (I cannot yet edit that page to reflect any association with this group.) And, for historical sake, in case anyone is curious, here is a link to an archived page of the old fedoralegacy.org, as it existed at this time approximately 11 years ago when it was a vital project: http://web.archive.org/web/20060410131351/http://fedoralegacy.org/ and from there, the curious can click links to see the old MoinMoin Fedora Legacy wiki pages: http://web.archive.org/web/20060411170211/http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Leg… Anyway, I once again would like to contribute to the Free Software effort. Looking forward to getting to know you all better, figure out how I can fit in, and once again getting my hands dirty helping out with Fedora work. Cheers, David -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEARECAAYFAljo7aEACgkQxou1V/j9XZzy/wCgkXaJQl53w6U47Ab1UD62N1PN GG8AoNgwcJn6rTyQTR5Y7t5AJLwaqZo4 =Xtm6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

What would have helped you first contribute to Fedora?
by Justin W. Flory 05 Apr '17

05 Apr '17

Hey everyone, In our meeting today, we made some progress on the FOSS Student Pack idea. We narrowed down the purpose and what the objectives are for the pack. The next step we decided to take was to start making a list of questions that we want the pack to solve. The benefit of doing this is for two things: (1) Identify the problems or things we can focus on in the pack (2) Later pick specific tools or resources to answer questions It will help a lot if you could come up with some ideas of questions of your own that would be helpful to recommend to someone who is getting started contributing to open source or Fedora. Please leave a comment in the Pagure ticket with some ideas of your own! https://pagure.io/fedora-commops/issue/70#comment-435022 At the next meeting, we'll discuss some of these questions and begin piecing "v1.0" of what this pack could look like. Thanks everyone! -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

[fedora-commops] Issue #70: FOSS Student Pack
by Justin W. Flory 05 Apr '17

05 Apr '17

jflory7 added a new comment to an issue you are following: `` _Discussed in [2017-04-04 meeting](https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2017-04-04/commop… We made some good headway on this ticket during the meeting. I'm going to summarize some of the points from the last meeting, this meeting, and also clarify on what we need to do next. And we need your help! ## What this pack is The pack is intended to be a resource for university students to discover tools and services available to help them contribute to open source. It introduces them to tools (also available in Fedora) and services (available in Fedora's infrastructure) to enable them to be successful in contributing to open source. The pack's focus is general and broad. * **Primary objective**: Provide tools / services helpful to university students working on open source * **Secondary objective**: Get students familiar with Fedora resources, community, ecosystem ## What this pack is not This pack is not intended to be a magnet or tool to attract contributors to Fedora. It is not intended to take over other on-boarding practices or resources in the community (e.g. whatcanidoforfedora.org, Join SIG, etc.). This pack isn't specifically encouraging someone to contribute to Fedora and should be helpful for working on any open source project. They may decide to contribute to Fedora or they may decide not to. ## What questions do we want answered? The next part of the meeting was figuring out what steps are next to take. We'd like to start asking example questions to help guide what we include and recommend in this pack. This questions will help us first identify the problems or things we could focus on in the pack, and will then let us pick specific tools or resources to recommend for solving those problems. These are some questions I came up with, but it's not complete. **We need your help with questions too! Please feel free to suggest some of your own as a comment in the ticket, and we will discuss more next week.** 1. Where can I host my code? 2. How can I get experience with Linux servers? 3. What are good tools or editors for working with {Python, Java, C, C++, C#, Ruby, Rust, Go, JavaScript, etc.}? 4. What's helpful for me to test out building RPMs if I want to make a package? 5. What can I use for task management (e.g. Kanban)? 6. Where can I ask questions and get help about Fedora? `` To reply, visit the link below or just reply to this email https://pagure.io/fedora-commops/issue/70

Hey CommOpsers! Today's meeting just wrapped up to a close. This week, I was late to put together the agenda, so we only discussed one ticket, on the FOSS Student Pack. The minutes should describe it well, but keep an eye out for one more email in a little bit. We'll need your help to brainstorm the next part. :) Thanks everyone! = = = = = Meeting ended Tue Apr 4 17:35:22 2017 UTC.
