Self Introduction

[Rayan Das]

Hi All,

I am Rayan, I'm based out of Bangalore, India. I am a beginner Open Source
contributor and trying to be a part of it.

I have been using Fedora from last one year now. My interest is mainly in
programming. But according to me testing the updated version is also cool.

I've subscribed to the mailing list. I'm very interested in contributing,
where I can.
Looking forward to know everyone as much as possible and be a part of this
family.

Regards
Rayan Das

That's great to hear! What are you doing nowadays?

Testing is a great place to get started. You learn about how the release
cycle runs, and you get introduced to the infrastructure that we use.
Have you subscribed to the QA team's mailing list yet? If not, maybe do
that and send them an introduction e-mail too :)

More information on QA here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Join

As for testing, you can start with testing updates immediately:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing

Basically:

- enable the updates-testing repository
- use and update your system as usual
- give karma to updates to let others know if updates work correctly or
  not

If you are interested in joining the QA team or at least to know a
little bit our "way-of-life" in Fedora QA, we are organizing a series
of onboarding calls. [1]
If you like, there is a survey [2] to figure out which day works best.

I'm a recent graduate, currently working for TCS basically on
Infrastructure. I didn't have many options back then so I had to join.
Though I'm trying to get out of there and will do a better job. Fedora
interests me more and I'm using it so I thought let's contribute to Fedora.
Get to learn so many things.

No, I haven't subscribed yet. But I will and drop an introduction mail too.
Apart from testing, I have interest in Infrastructure also.
