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

Hello Ingmar!
You've been around long enough so I don't feel like you're a newcomer, but welcome anyway :)

That's great. Please do let us know if we can help with this. A few of us are sponsors to the package maintainers group and will be able to help with guiding you through the process/pipeline.

Awesome!
It's great to have more folks from the research/science side of things. We have the Science and Technology SIG here, so worth joining that too I'd say:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:SciTech_SIG
We also have specialised SIGs for some sciences. I'm aware of the Astronomy, Neuroscience, Robotics SIGs. So if you'd like, you could even look into starting a SIG for the Social sciences. I'm sure there'll be quite a bit of interest there too :)

Thank you! Nice to feel welcomed! not the first time I have this feeling in the Fedora community, though - a wonderful repeating experience.

ok, thanks a lot!
On that occasion a meta communication question: given the plenty platforms of communication, would I write here, or simply at ask.fp.org? I ask because I sometimes feel uncertain of what the preferred channels of conversation are.

check, looking forward to seeing what happens in that space.

SIG Social Science sounds like something I can well invest some time in. Should I first get in touch with people who might be interested, and send out a call on some mailing list, or on the discussion site? Or how would I push for this kind of idea.
Cheers Ingmar p.s. oh, no, missed indicating the snipping.

I think for anything general, you can use the Join SIG's channels. We'll be able to help or direct you to the right places. The Fedora teams all have their own communication channels (and ticketing systems) so when working with a team, we try and use whatever they use.
Ask.fp.o is mainly for troubleshooting, not so much for community activities.

I'd recommend discussion.fp.o, and the devel mailing list. That way you'll reach out to a majority of the community: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/
All the infra etc. can be set up quite easily once you folks know what you need.
