Hello, I'm Dolores Portalatin. I founded Arch Linux Women and I have
been involved in community outreach and diversity efforts in many FOSS
projects for about 10 years. I am a disabled latina and I am very
interested in outreach for FOSS, building connections between Fedora and
other FOSS projects and diversity efforts to connect disadvantaged
people with technology.

I am meskarune/lola/Wonder_Woman on irc, please feel free to chat with
me. I'm located on the East Coast US, UTC -4

I really want to thank the Fedora project for being so welcoming to me,
you guys are awesome!

Hiya Dolores, and welcome to Fedora CommOps! We're happy to have you here. :)

Community outreach and diversity efforts are one of the things CommOps is helping with in Fedora. Eventually, there might be a formal Diversity working group down the line too, with tatica's recent appointment as the Diversity Adviser. For me personally, it's really cool to see people from other distributions and communities join forces to accomplish the same types of goals. There's so many things we can all help each other with and that type of cross-community collaboration is what the spirit of open source is all about.

We're looking forward to having you here in both CommOps and Fedora. If you have any questions about anything, please feel free to ask either in IRC or the mailing list at any time. :)
