Hi Justin! It's ok! I'm busy too these days. I'll take some time to explore
the things in the toolbox and i'll try to acquire the Bootstrapped budges.
I'm also reading the packaging guidelines because i want to include some
additional software in fedora. Because it's always better to start small, i
will take it slow. Anyway, i'm here to stay so i'll take some time to do my
research about the project. I don't know if i can join today's meeting but
i will certainly stay in touch. My irc nick has also changed from HalleBopp
to anazli9. Cheers!

Hello, and welcome, Andreas! Sorry for the slow response to get back to
you, December has kept me busy. We're glad to have you here with us in
CommOps! Sounds like you have some good experience working with a variety
of languages.
I'm happy to hear that this is your first FOSS project to contribute
towards! That's a big milestone and I'm glad it can be with Fedora. Before
getting started in CommOps, it will be helpful for you to explore the
Fedora community a bit and see how all of the different parts fit together.
Our "Join" wiki page outlines some of these steps, and if you haven't seen
this page yet, definitely check this out and use it as your guidelines for
getting started.

One of the things I would recommend trying to do is working on acquiring
the "Bootstrapped!" badges series. Fedora Badges are a fun way to get
badges for doing things in Fedora. There are many good ones that will help
introduce you to Fedora. You can learn more about Badges and see the
Bootstrapped series below (the ticket URL has a list of badges that are
good ones to get first before others):
https://badges.fedoraproject.org/about
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-badges/ticket/409
Metrics are definitely one of the things that we help work on. At Flock,
the annual contributor conference, we generated some ideas for the types of
metrics we wanted to try to find.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/CommOps/Metrics_Ideas
We have a toolbox of tools, services, and programs that can help us
generate metrics in Fedora. I encourage you to explore some of the things
in our toolbox and try to become familiar with some of the tools.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/CommOps#Metrics_2
Bee might be able to offer more specific info about metrics or about
things we could use some help on.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out! We're always
happy to help answer any questions while you get started. Again, welcome
aboard!
