Hello
by Naveen Narayanan 02 Sep '24

02 Sep '24

Hi, I am Naveen and my interests revolve around kernel development, device drivers and the like. I have been involved with the opensource world for some time now and I started off with BSD. I have done some work for NetBSD. Lately, I have been interested in what Linux is doing and I like Fedora for its simplicity and coherence. Although I have tried other distributions I think Fedora has a better chance at being something that is way more accessible and reliable than others. I come from a communication eng/programming background. I use Fedora on all my workstations and I work as a kernel developer (although not linux) in real life. I think I can write C, awk, shell, tcl and some C++. I am interested in solving some problems and making some really good friends along the way. And regarding the hours I am willing to spend, I like to work on things in which I see potential, and I don't necessarily care about the hours involved. :) Since I am new here I am only finding my way around projects. If anyone here already knows about projects which would possibly suit me, please send them my way. :) love, Naveen

Introducing myself! (milliectl)
by Kamila Frej 23 Aug '24

23 Aug '24

Hi folks! I'm Kamila (with my usual online handle of Millie/milliectl) and I'm a sysadmin by day and homelabber by night based in Poland. I've been interested in hardware and software since I was a kid, tinkering away and essentially 'making do' with whatever hardware I've had back then. And then I've found Fedora in a Polish computer-related magazine and everything changed :) Fedora has been a massive source of influence for me and has essentially jumpstarted my professional career in IT. As a teenager I was obviously unable to get my hands on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, which I'm administrating professionally today, but RHEL's base - Fedora - was all I needed and I think I finally feel confident enough in myself and my skills to contribute back to the Fedora Project. Naturally, this includes me improving my skills and meeting interesting people from whom I can learn more - I'm looking forward to it! I'm currently restructuring some things in my homelab (which includes a short foray into RHEL derivatives and NixOS) so while I might not be running Fedora everywhere it's slowly coming back ;) Outside of work and homelabbing I do enjoy retro computers with a particular focus on vintage/old Apple Macs. I'm going to be honest - I'm not exactly sure how I can help the Fedora Project outright but I think I'll figure it out sooner or later. I have a lot of free time so I'm looking to dedicate at least 6 hours a week. Working on Fedora sounds exciting! Kamila

Introducing myself (javimazzaf)

Hi, My name is Javier. I'm a physicist by training and have been interested in software since very young. I've been coding since secondary school (more than 30 years) at different levels and used several languages (C, C++, Matlab, Python, C#, Lua, bash shell, Basic, FORTRAN, Pascal, Delphi, and some others). I'm not an expert in most of them ;-). I've been developing software as my main job for 6 years, mostly as a C developer on embedded systems. I'm interested in the Linux OS and free software philosophy in general. There are several reasons behind this interest, but an important one for me is that open source code allows monotonic progress. No one can remove the work that has been made up to now. I believe this is a very elegant way to empower people and provide freedom. I use Ubuntu at work and Fedora Desktop at home. Furthermore, I have also installed and configured servers for personal use (CentOS stream, Lubuntu). For embedded systems y have some familiarity with the Yocto Project. I come to the Fedora community with two main goals: - Contributing to the open source ecosystem and - Expand my expertise on the software development craftsmanship I believe I could devote 2 to 4 hours a week. I will adapt the time as things progress. Likewise, I did not know where to start, so I applied to the initiative "Join Fedora" with the hope of getting some guidance. I'm excited to start working on something interesting and useful, and also getting to know interesting people from who I could learn new skills. Javier.

Hello Fedora Claudio Marcial's introduction.
by Claudio Marcial Peon 25 Jun '24

Hey Folks. I was exploring how to contribute with the project, and I saw this mailing list. Not sure if I need to open an issue by myself in pagure, so just in case I didn't. Some introduction: My name is Claudio and I'm currently living in Switzerland. Some more details: - your experience with Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) communities/ecosystems: - I've been a FOSS user all my life, but I have never contributed directly to any project. I'm planning to change that, and that's why i'm here. - your background/skills, for example: - I have worked in the CyberSecurity Industry for 20 years now. - My first linux was Slackware 8, but I have used almost every mainstream distribution that has crossed my desk (Redhat 7, Debian, Ubuntu, Opensuse Arch, etc). Im currently on Fedora - I'm fluent in English, and Spanish. - Coding skills include Python, Go, and im beginning to look at Rust. I would like to contribute to maintaining some packages but I have no previous experience on that matter. - I also have experience in server administration. - your experience in communication platforms: - I have used mailing-lists all my life, and I'm also active in Telegram, Matrix or Discord. - I would prefer to use Matrix as Real time platform. - I have experience moderating IRC and Telegram channels, and also in the past some forums related to technology. - My current expectation is to be able to contribute around 4 hours a week. Looking forward to contributing!

Hi folks, We've had some trouble with the existing "welcome to Fedora" repository, unfortunately. We're trying to recover it, but in the meantime, we've set up a new one here: https://pagure.io/fedora-join/WelcomeToFedora If you had your welcome to Fedora tickets in the older one that are currently accessible, please drop us a message and we'll open new ones for you on the new repository. We can merge them back in once the original repo is back up. Sorry for the trouble. -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" (He / Him / His) | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Time zone: Europe/London
