Hi Everyone,
I'm interested in joining the Diversity Team. I'm a Fedora Ambassador
based out of Regina, SK, Canada. I'm returning to being involved with
Fedora after being away for two years due to a medical disability, Epilepsy.
As an ambassador, I am moderately active in the local Linux community,
helping
start the official Red Hat User Group. At RHUG meetings I almost always
talk about what is upstream, or specifcally about Fedora. At the last
meeting I presented on Cockpit.
As someone with an invisible disability, with atypical seizures, I have
dealt with the stigma cause by looking and acting falling-down-drunk at
work.
At work, I am responsible for one of our big data analasys tools, and
ensuring it is accessable for our blind users.
I want to join the Diversity and Inclusion Team, as I believe that as an
Ambassador, my responsiblity is to introduce Fedora to everyone.
Hi David,

Thanks for sharing a bit of your background with us and it's awesome to

We might have our next meeting on Friday , but we are also discussing a new
meeting time - so please check out again this mailing list when we announce

During the meeting we will go through the tickets that have higher priority

Welcome again to our mailing list! :)
