Hi Kanika, and welcome to the CommOps team! Glad to have you joining us. :)

I'm a little late to respond and lots of others have already linked 
fantastic resources or pointers for getting involved.


== Diversity ==

If you're interested in the Diversity efforts within the project, I 
definitely *also* recommend checking out the Diversity team. You can 
find more information about the team at the following places. I also 
recommend subscribing to their mailing list!

     https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Diversity

 
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/[e-mail]...

Some of the work the Diversity team is doing includes the first-ever 
Fedora Women Day, which happened a few weeks ago in July. There's also 
plans on creating a survey to better understand our contributors and 
their backgrounds to help create a better environment for the community. 
There's also other plans coming down soon that you may be interested in 
too. :)


== CommOps ==

We could definitely use extra hands for feedback regarding the 
on-boarding process for the different sub-projects in Fedora 
(particularly Quality Assurance – we haven't worked our way to them yet, 
but we also don't have a point of contact for someone who could offer 
feedback and ideas for their process). You can see the grand, master 
ticket for all things on-boarding here:

     https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-commops/ticket/34

As for the rest, are there any other specific areas in CommOps that you 
may be interested in contributing to? You can get an idea for the 
different things we're working on here:

     https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/CommOps#Things_we_help_with

Also, if you haven't yet seen, our Join page may also be useful for you, 
but I'm pretty sure others have linked that already, so it might be 
nothing new for you. :)

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

We have our weekly meetings on Tuesdays, 17:00 UTC (or 12:00pm US EST). 
If you're available at this time, feel free to log onto freenode IRC and 
find us in the #fedora-meeting channel. Soo, tomorrow! Feel free to come 
by if you're around, we'd love to see you there. :)

I'd love to know what kind of things you may be interested in helping 
with too. Hopefully all this info is helpful towards guiding you towards 
something that interests you in contributing. If you have any questions, 
feel free to ask here on the list or on IRC in #fedora-commops. We're 
here to help! :)

Looking forward to seeing you around!
