Self introduction

[Shalini Kr]

Hello there!
My Name is Shalini and I would like to introduce myself. I'm based out in Bhopal,
India and currently in the 3rd of my engineering (computer science). I'm thrilled
about the opportunity to work with a number of terrific individuals promoting an equally
terrific distribution and community. My current interests are to not only spread the word
about Fedora, but to also get more involved within the Fedora ecosystem and participate in
QA and other development.My interest lies into graphic designing the most.It's great
to be here. Ready to get things done and have some fun. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy
smartphone.

Hey Shalini,

Welcome to CommOps. It's good to see that you are interested in contributing to Fedora
QA and other devel projects. Here are few getting started point . 
1. Each of the teams have their own mailing list . If for example , Fedora QA -
test(a)lists.fedoraproject.org is the mailing list. You need to drop an intro mail to get
started with . To explore all the other list you might want to visit
[https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/]
2. We have had a few calls for Bhopal contributors for Fedora QA so you might want to get
in touch with the community there.
3. Since you mentioned that you're interested in Graphics, I've cc'ed Kanika
(Fedora QA Intern) based out of Bangalore who can help you out with project based
contribution in Graphics and Design.

Thanks
Sumantro

Hi Shalini, and welcome to Fedora CommOps! Happy to have you with us. :) 
Like you, I am also a student contributing to Fedora.

I believe Sumantro offered you some links and guidance to contributing 
to the QA side of the project, so I won't repeat details.

As for graphic design, there are actually plenty of ways for you to get 
involved with design in Fedora! Fedora has its own Design Team that 
works on creating images, artwork, and other design assets for the 
entire project. There's also Fedora Badges, which is an awesome project 
within itself.

If you're looking for something to get yourself started with, I
personally think Badges are a great place to start. It gives you some
places to mess around with Inkscape, become more familiar with it, and
actually get to see some of your art become Fedora official.

There's some starter resources and style guides I would recommend
downloading / reviewing before you pick a badge. All of Fedora's badges
follow design guidelines so they all fit in with each other and follow a
common theme. Check these out:

 
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-badges/attachment/wiki/DesignResources/Fe...

 
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-badges/attachment/wiki/DesignResources/st...

Once you have a chance to dig through some of these, you can start
hunting out a badge to find and try working on. The easiest way to look
for badges pending artwork is by going here:

     https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-badges/report

{8} and {9} may have a few to pick out, but {26} may have a few buried
in there too. Don't be afraid to pick up a ticket if there hasn't been
any activity on it for a while either.

This is probably a lot to throw at you all at once, but hopefully it
helps. If you have any questions, please ask them!! We're happy to
help in any way we can.

Thanks for sending your introduction here on the list, hope to see you 
around Fedora!
