Hello, I wanted to just give my thanks and introduce myself. I'll start with copying my original introduction to the mailing list, and write a more formal introduction when I have a little bit more time. Forgive me if I alittle slow first thing, just found out about a sudden family death yesterday. Covid of course, makes this even more a of a thing than it already is.
"Greeting Fedora, group leaders, and community!
My name is Tegan-Jean Hillman, I also go by Mouse. I live in Mid-Michigan, which is part of the United States eastern timezone. I am a 35-year-old transgender women. I am currently a culinary student, but has also worked in group homes and as basic home care, specializing in nutrition and physical/mental developmental disabilities.
I have been using Linux since the end of my junior year of high school when a very well known operating system crashed on my computer right before my final exams. Furthermore, I have been a frequent distro-hopper during that time, with most of that time being in Debian based systems because of the laptop I was using. Though I always find myself coming back to Fedora every few years. The few recent editions though have really impressed me. I have also started to move deeper into interactions with a few other users and have really enjoyed the interaction of the community. It really is somewhere I would like to consider my home distro from here on out. This has only grown as I have read the welcome information, and have seen how you are trying to live up to the Four Foundations.
I have always pretty much just been a desktop user, with very few reasons to move onto the server side of things. I use Gnome 3 and KDE Plasma pretty much equally. Recently I have tried to learn a little coding, though I am not far past the hello world side of Python. This is also the first time I have volunteered to a project such as fedora. I think it would be best to start at something like 2-4 hours a week until I learn my way around things."
