Self Introduction: amanthakur - fedora-join - Fedora mailing-lists

1 Feb 2021


      Hi everyone,
My name is Aman Thakur, I live in India.
I’m a second-year CSE undergraduate at the Army Institute of Technology, Pune. 
Presently I’m in the open-source community of my college and guiding the juniors of my college gives immense pleasure when you helping them to learn about git and GitHub.
I am fond of open-source software. I like the concept of Open Source how we can work not just for improving the software as per our needs but also helping others by contributing to the project.
I have taken part in a few of the open-source programs such as Hactoberfest2020 and also contributed to an organization named serverless during the last semester of my college.
My first encounter with Fedora was my first CS practical session which was being conducted in Linux Distro named Fedora and I was fascinated by the UI experience and get found of this Distro.
My interest lies in programming and learning what's new in the field of technology can be said like a  tech geek. I am consistent with my work and completes work in time. My interest draws me towards the Linux from windows initially it hurts to come out of my comfort zone but later I enjoyed it a lot.
I acquire these skills in python3 and c++ programming languages and get started with web development and came across libraries such as Flask, get to learned frontend library such as react.
What draws me to this organization is #Web Developer or Administrator as it coincides with the skill I possess and get to learn more while being with your organization which will also going to brush up my skills and pose a challenge to what I learned.
I'm already on mailing lists, pagure.io, I have a FAS account: amanthakur and I followed fedora’s mission and foundation, the conduct of conduct, 12-18 month community objective, and how to become a successful contributor.
Thanks to Akashdeep Dhar who helped me a lot and also thanks to Ankur Sinha to help me to connect to the organization.
