Self introduction email

[Mauro Filanti]

Hi guys,

I'm Mauro, from Italy!
I'll start by introducing what I do, then why "I'm here".

I've been a Software Developer for four years until September 2020, mainly
on Java stack; some months ago I moved to a Sysadmin/Devops Engineering
role.
I work with different kinds of technologies at the moment, from "classic"
Linux server management via plain bash scripting, Docker containers and
Puppet/Foreman provisioning to cloud services (AWS). Some tools for the
last are Ansible, Packer and AWS Cloudformation.
Of course I work (love) a lot git since I'm dealing every day with
different repositories (I'm the classic nerd guy at work that helps
everyone dealing with git, trying to get everyone to use the cli!) and use
a lot of Jenkins by working on pipeline jobs, from automated tasks to
software deployment to infrastructure provisioning.
I love working on new processes or improving existing ones and documenting
the whole, sharing those informations and knowledge with others.

Finally why I'm here.
I've been passionate about Open Source, GNU/Linux in particular, since
University and always wanted to contribute to it without
never understanding how.
I was a member of the LUG team of Rome, so that allowed me to help others.
Now after some years of working experience and with the Covid situation
that it's messing around all the world, I decide to join the Fedora
community and give back something to it.

Just to recap, my main area could be:

- Cloud
   - Infrastructure
   - Development, maybe to something really near to Fedora infrastructure
   - I'll add this but I still have to figure it out as "area", packages

Thanks,
Mauro

That sounds great! Please do let us know if we can help in anyway. We're
always on the channels/mailing lists :)

Hi @Ankur,

thank you!

Can you help me in order to understand next steps?
I was thinking to introduce myself in the mailing lists of my interest, what do you think?

Thanks,
Mauro

Yes, that'll be the next step.

You already seem to know how FOSS communities work, but in any case,
have we opened a ticket for you at Welcome-to-Fedora yet?
https://pagure.io/fedora-join/Welcome-to-Fedora/issues

(The idea behind the tickets is to provide some general information to
new people in one place so they don't have to dig up information on the
wiki etc.)

Hi guys,

thanks both @Ankur and @Alessio.
So I'll send my self introduction email to the different mailing list for my interest, finding somewhere to begin in order to help/contribute!
