Hello CommOps, My name is Luis and I am new to Fedora. I made the leap to Fedora after my System76 running Ubuntu suddenly died in November of last year. My first experience with Linux starting in 2014 I used the time to explore the distributions admiring Fedora's community and it's established relationship with Gnome. I installed Fedora on a new laptop and have been very happy.
I recently joined the Fedora QA testers group. Installing, running `fedora-easy-karma` and combing through the community's documentation left me impressed with the onboarding process. My background is as a graphic designer having worked professionally for about ten years before moving on to satisfy a long held goal and learn programming. I'm mostly self taught but last year completed a Ruby bootcamp as well as a technical writing course I enjoyed. I see myself serving best in matters of the community, culture and storytelling.
Other than participating in a beta version of Google+ Community feature, I have more experience with offline groups having been part of large run clubs, races and a year heading a small home owners association. My hope is that in observing, learning what various members are actively working towards I can find specific areas within Fedora's community, writing and helping to move the mission forward.
I look forward to working with each of you, Luis Roca

Sounds like your experience with QA has been a good one. Out of curiosity, did you happen to read this series before you got started?

Some experience in technical writing is awesome. If writing is something you enjoy, perhaps this ticket may sound interesting to you?

As one final tip, you can check out this page on making your first steps in the Fedora community. There's a series of badges you can earn that are good ones to earn in the beginning. See if you can get them all:

Again, we're happy to have you here with us. Let us know if you have any further questions!
(Hopefully we can say hello to you in our meeting next week too. :-) )

I would love to work on the interviews. Should I comment regarding my interest on that issue?

Awesome, hope you find the series useful!

Awesome! Yes, if you want to work on this, you can leave a comment to volunteer to work on it and we'll update the metadata.
You'll want to begin by emailing all of the top five candidates with the template in the ticket. This will give them some time to think about their answers and get back to you. I'm also happy to help you draft the first email if you'd like guidance.
One of them, Alberto (bt0) is here on the CommOps team, so he will be an easy one to start with. :-)
