Hello, I'm David

[Lefever David]

Hello everyone,

I'm David, 35, from Braine-le-comte in Belgium.
I have an 8-year-old boy and 5-year-old daughter.

I'm a software engineer, started as Java developer, then Python (I'm 
more of a backend guy, but I like ReactJS), but I always liked the infra 
side as well so the last few years I naturally evolved to DevOps.
I worked on logging and monitoring using ELK and Kafka, CI/CD pipelines, 
automation (Ansible, Terraform, ...), I enjoy Kubernetes (and work with 
OpenShift).
I like to have the big picture, and help improving the Software 
Development Life Cycle and value stream using data (metrics).

I use Fedora as my daily driver for a few years now, and used various 
other distributions before that.
I'm not really sure how I learned about it, but I used (and still use) a 
lot of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, so probably at some point I was exposed 
to Fedora.
I'm using FOSS since a long time, but I also use proprietary software 
when needed (though I try to avoid more and more).
I never really participated, but I would like to start.
I thought about what projects I could participate in, and Fedora's 
values really resonate with me, so I would be honored to participate 
even a tiny bit, to give back a tiny portion of what Fedora gives me 
everyday.

I will be conservative and say that I could start with 3 hours per week, 
because I'd like to do that in the long term, and hope that I can 
increase that in the future.

Looking forward to contribute !

David

Hi David,

Welcome to the community (again :)).

I hope the info in the "Welcome to Fedora" ticket we've opened for you
is useful. Please do ping us on any of the community channels whenever
you'd like.

Hello Ankur,

Thank you (again ;)) !
The ticket was very helpful. I'm hanging out a bit on IRC.
I was searching a bit where I could start contributing, so I subscribed to a few lists (infra, CI, devel).
I'll continue observing a bit, and trying to find something I could help on.

Have a nice day !
David
