An Introduction

11 Jan '22

Hello everyone, I'm Soumya (@skeptronus, He/Him), presently living in Kolkata, India and I'm currently pursuing a Masters degree in Chemistry. Among other things I have a keen interest in programming and I'm a strong believer of the Free- and Open-Source Philosophy, and looking to serve the community. I know Python, some C and Bash scripting and I have a moderate-level understanding of the (GNU/)Linux OS. I consider myself a novice programmer though. I'm also interested in networks, security and privacy-centric designs and tools for Open Science. Its been over a year now since I have settled on Fedora as the distro of my choice after some heavy distro-hopping, and I'm very satisfied with the experience. I have not actively contributed to any major FOSS projects yet (except occasionally submitting bug reports and translations) and I have a fairly limited knowledge of the software development process. Thus I'd like to start with something simple, and I think packaging would be an easy task to learn. Ankur Sinha has already opened a "Welcome to Fedora" ticket for me and I've gone through the links mentioned there, and I think I'm ready to start. I'm looking forward to have an exciting learning experience with the community and I'm glad to get this opportunity to contribute to this awesome project. Thank You. Regards, Soumya Patra <soumya.p(a)protonmail.ch>

introducing myself

Dear Fedorians, dear SIG/Join group, dear all, after having learned from alciregi about a "bug" (via https://pagure.io/fedora-join/Welcome-to-Fedora/issue/212#comment-772943) I am able to write to you here and share my brief introduction. Professionally, I am a social scientist; in the Fedora space, I briefly already introduced myself at https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/introduce-yourself/1875/179?u=ingli I am interested in socio-technical complexities and environmental issues. Skills? Well, I guess you are interested in the IT-related skills. Mailman I can post to and administer, git I use every day for LaTeX projects, I compile software that I need but is not yet available on the repos. I have been reporting bugs via bugzilla for a few years. At the moment I do not think I will be a programmer any time soon. Culture, diversity, bias, political economy, environmental dimensions (especially carbon) might be potentially of overlapping interest between the Fedora world and my non-Fedora-life. I also have interested in security and encryption topics – but, well, again from a social science angle - for instance regarding privacy behaviour and culture, the way people imagine security, the practical issues in using encryption software. Software-wise, my personal medium term objective is to learn to package https://github.com/ccbogel/QualCoder. alciregi has opened a new ticket for me at https://pagure.io/fedora-join/Welcome-to-Fedora/issue/212 . All best, Ingmar -- Associate Professor Dr. Ingmar Lippert Technologies in Practice Research Group, IT University of Copenhagen STS Group, Humanities of Nature, Museum and Society, Leibniz Institute for Evolution and Biodiversity Science/Museum für Naturkunde Berlin Chair of Technoscience Studies Brandenburg University of Technology https://www.ingli.de Encryption GPG key ID 0xCC53D8A7BA575E6E Twitter https://twitter.com/i_ngli I have sent this email at a time that suits my work flow. I do not expect answers outside of normal office hours.

Hi all My name is Ian and I have been using linux for the past 20 years, love it for what it stands for but haven't actually contributed before but want to now. I am able to program in a few languages and also DB's etc, not sure what part of the fedora project I could help out with? as my biggest problem is finding a project to work on. Are there any areas that I could assist with? -- Regards Ian Porter T : +44 (0) 7743577960 E : ian(a)codingfriends.com W : http://www.codingfriends.com

Hello!
by Eris Gaia 06 Jan '22

06 Jan '22

My name is Eris, from the EST (UTC -5) timezone. I was searching for the most organized Linux community, and I was very impressed by Fedora - especially by the documentation and the "What can I do for Fedora?" website. I am here to learn about the community, and to serve the community in any way possible. My professional experience is mostly in quality assurance, software testing and test automation, but I am flexible to whatever your needs are. If I can improve the experience that the common person has with this operating system or with the project as a whole, that would be ideal. My primary goal is to advance the cause of humanity, and I see Fedora as a potential vehicle to a free and open-source world. If you feel there is a better community to accomplish this, please direct me there!
