[Fedora-join] Introduction David, FAS nick the0val
Hi Fedora!
My name is David (he/him) and I’m a 19 yo from Skåne, Sweden. I graduated from the Swedish
counterpart to high school this past spring. I’ve been programming since I was 14 or so
and in high school I took a few courses in in programming and computer technology which
broadened my perspective on tech. My favorite language is Go, but I’ve also learned C,
made a few web projects with JavaScript and done some mathy/sciency programming with
Python.
I’ve been using Linux full time since roughly march of 2020 (when school went virtual and
I got to make my own setup) and I switched to Fedora last fall. Since F34 I’ve been
running Silverblue on my main machine and I’m loving it. I also recently installed Fedora
Server on an old computer to do some home server tasks. I’ve enjoyed the small amount of
system administration that has entailed and I want to learn more about sysadmin/devops
things in the future.
As someone learning to program, and just as a general computer user, open source software
has been invaluable to me, and now I want to give back in whatever ways I can. I attended
Nest with Fedora to get some idea of what’s being worked on, but I couldn’t watch all the
sessions I wanted because of my IRL schedule (hopefully the videos will be published
soon). I’m currently most interested in programming, packaging or infrastructure
contributions. I could also help with Swedish translation.
