Hello Fedora Community

[Aachman Mittal]

Hello Fedora World
My name is Aachman Mittal and I am a II year Comp. Sci. Engineering student
from India. I really love the Idea of being in control of my system at all
times and the personalised experience that Linux provides and want to learn
and contribute to make the ecosystem even better for everyone.

I am currently using Manjaro with KDE Plasma as my main machine and I have
a good knowledge of c and basic c++ as well but I don't have any experience
of working on a major project like fedora or working in a team so, I hope
fedora will help me make a good team player and experienced programmer. I
am looking forward to some guidance on how to explore the work being done
around here at fedora to find myself the right place and begin my journey.

Looking forward to good times.
Aachman Mittal

Hi Aachman, and welcome to Fedora. We can definitely help you get started.
It sounds like you're looking for programming tasks -- is that correct?	Is
there a particular part of Fedora that you're most interested in?

Hello Matthew,
Yes, I am primarily looking for programming tasks but there is no
particular area that I am already familiar with or interested in. In
other words I am open to exploring all the different opportunities. I also
do have my eyes on GSoC but I am more interested in gaining valuable
programming experience working on the project.

I'd start with the links in the Welcome-to-Fedora ticket. That'll give
you a good overview of Fedora and then you can start looking into
teams/projects that may interest you:

https://pagure.io/fedora-join/Welcome-to-Fedora/issue/70

Folks on the list: if you'd like to be added to the pagure group so you
are kept up to date with the Welcome-to-Fedora tickets, please let us
know. The tickets we open for newcomers are meant to be the primary
source of info for them to get started with, and I worry about them
being stretched in different directions if we're not all in the same
boat and aware of their progress :)
