Self-Introduction

[Yajushi Srivastava]

Hello Team,

I'm a final year undergraduate, pursuing Computer Science Engineering from
a private college in Jaipur, India. I have been training in Linux System
Administration for over a year. Apart from that, I have been working with
OpenStack, AWS and DevOps technologies like Docker and Ansible.

I have always been a FOSS/OSS enthusiast because I believe in the scenic
genius of Sapiens. It’s crucial for us to collaborate, in order to grow,
and Open Source does just that. It provides us with a liberal way to share
and to know. Despite our possible differences in political ideologies,
beliefs, race and administrative boundaries. We are all bound by our love
of technology.

I have used several Linux distributions, but it’s in Fedora that I found my
haven. I love contributing to Open Source, in whichever way I can. I would
like to take my skills to reach out to as many people as I can, and share
Fedora with them. And, in sharing, I know that I’ll come across essentials
that I may have overlooked in the past.

I believe I am an empathetic and creative person. I love knowing people and
their stories, and I believe that everyone is inspirational and has
limitless potential. I would like to put my skills to use by being a part
of CommOps.

I’m not yet involved with other things in Fedora. But I’d like to be a part
of the Fedora Ambassadors Project. There are several people working on
Linux in and around my city, in one way or the other, but often in
isolation. And, I would like to encourage collaboration and introduce them
to our global community.

I represent Docker’s Jaipur Chapter as the Community Leader, and PyJaipur
(Official Local Python User’s Group) as the Content Management Lead.

I see CommOps as crucial for people involved in Fedora to keep track of the
several projects, making the contribution and collaboration process
feasible. I also appreciate how CommOps connects people with stories beyond
work, through acknowledgement programs and interviews.

I look forward  to understanding Community Health Monitoring in detail.

As far as the questions go, a lot IRC lurking may be required. However, it
would be great if somebody could help me get started with my first task.

Thanks.

Hi Yajushi, welcome to the CommOps mailing list. We're happy to have you
here! Sounds like you have a deep background in Linux.

You may want to reach out to Sumantro Mukherjee (CC'd) for help on
connecting you to local Fedora events across India. He may know of more
things than me for opportunities for you to get involved with a local
community in India.

No problem. We're happy to help you get started. Have you looked at the
types of things CommOps helps with yet? Are there any specific things
that interest you?

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/commops/#what-commops-does

It will help to know if you are looking for technical or non-technical
contributions. We can guide you towards some of the metrics tools or
help get you started on a new task like a CommBlog post to help out. :)
We want to pair you with something you will enjoy doing too.

Hope this is helpful. Thanks for your patience on a reply!

Thanks, I'll reach out to him for details.

It'd be great if you could point me to a CommBlog post, to begin with.
Also, I'm not used to inline or bottom posting. Let me know if the
formatting
of this mail seems alright.

Thanks,
Yajushi.
