Introduction David, FAS nick the0val

[David Agardh]

Hi Fedora! 
My name is David (he/him) and I’m a 19 yo from Skåne, Sweden. I graduated from the Swedish counterpart to high school this past spring. I’ve been programming since I was 14 or so and in high school I took a few courses in in programming and computer technology which broadened my perspective on tech. My favorite language is Go, but I’ve also learned C, made a few web projects with JavaScript and done some mathy/sciency programming with Python.

I’ve been using Linux full time since roughly march of 2020 (when school went virtual and I got to make my own setup) and I switched to Fedora last fall. Since F34 I’ve been running Silverblue on my main machine and I’m loving it. I also recently installed Fedora Server on an old computer to do some home server tasks. I’ve enjoyed the small amount of system administration that has entailed and I want to learn more about sysadmin/devops things in the future.

As someone learning to program, and just as a general computer user, open source software has been invaluable to me, and now I want to give back in whatever ways I can. I attended Nest with Fedora to get some idea of what’s being worked on, but I couldn’t watch all the sessions I wanted because of my IRL schedule (hopefully the videos will be published soon). I’m currently most interested in programming, packaging or infrastructure contributions. I could also help with Swedish translation.

Welcome! Glad you were able to enjoy some of Nest. The videos will be online
in a few weeks.

Hey David!

I am glad that you have joined Fedora Join and especially our Fedora community! Especially as Matt said that it's awesome you attended Nest!

Hopefully, the Welcome ticket will help you how to join groups and to start your help! Translations, packaging etc. are always welcome! :-) We are happy to have you as a new Fedora volunteer!

Pls feel free to ask questions here in ML, pagure or other social channels. :-)
