[diversity] Happy International Women's Day

[Amita]

Hi All,

Wednesday March 8 is International Women's Day [1], an annual global event
that aims to forge a more diverse and inclusive working world.

Though women is a underrepresented gender in Fedora community, they make 
a substantial impact.
Let's celebrate women's day by appreciating and recognizing women 
contribution in Fedora.

I hope we will all make an effort to ensure that Fedora is a diverse and 
inclusive community.

Thanks & Regards,
Amita

Hi everyone,

I'd like to take the opportunity to self introduce myself replying to
this kind and important email about women and inclusion of diversity in
general.

My name is Aurelie and I'm a transgender woman living in London (but
I'm Italian! :) ). I joined this Community few days ago and I'm trying
to figure out how to contribute. I'm a Linux Administrator and I've
always been passionate about it since I was 16 (I'm 36 now). I'm trying
to learn as much as I can about Fedoraproject and I've joined quite a
few mailing list included yours.

As a Transgender person I know something about lack of inclusion,
equality and understanding in general from people and even from my own
family. I'm not sure how can I contribute to what you guys do here but
joining this mailing list and let you know I'm here I think is a good
first step. I'm reading you... :-)

Have a nice day wherever you are (it's 6:45 AM in London).

Cheers

Aurelie deromedis

Hi Aurelie! I know this is a super late reply, but welcome to the Fedora
Diversity mailing list! We're happy to have you here with us and to be
involved with Fedora. :)

It sounds like you have a lot of background and experience
administrating Linux servers. If this is an area that interests you and
you would like to consider contributing to Fedora in that way, I
definitely recommend checking out the Infrastructure Apprentice program.
This will allow you to have read-only access to some of Fedora's
infrastructure and give you an opportunity to help out with tasks that
the Infrastructure team is working on. If this sounds interesting, check
out these two pages below:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure_Apprentice

https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issues?status=Open&tags=easyfix

Your perspective as a transgender person is something that is very
valuable for the types of things we're working on here in the Diversity
Team. As some background, this is one of the newest teams in Fedora and
we're also one of the smallest (but slowly growing!), so hopefully you
can understand that we're still working on maturing and expanding our
outreach. For one, just having you here on the mailing list reading what
comes across is one way to help, and if there's ever something you want
to weigh in, you are more than welcome to!!

To understand some of the tasks that we're working on, you can check out
our Pagure repository. Pagure is a git forge where a lot of
Fedora-related projects host their code. We use the tickets / issues
feature as a task tracker for our team, to create new tasks and to track
our progress on them over time. You can view them here:

https://pagure.io/fedora-diversity/issues

You can scroll through some of the things we're currently discussing
there to better understand the type of work we do. Additionally, I'm not
sure if you read our wiki pages, but if you haven't yet, this will also
be great background to better understand our team!

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Diversity

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Diversity/Join

Thanks for taking the time to introduce yourself here on our mailing
list. It's a big step and I'm happy that you're watching along here in
our community. :) Looking forward to having you here with all of us! If
you have any questions, please don't be afraid to ask!!
