Greetings, and thank you for the welcome ticket https://pagure.io/fedora-join/Welcome-to-Fedora/issue/285! My name is Jonathan Bowman, and I am a software engineer who writes SQL by day, but am also a Linux and Python hobbyist.
Interests that draw me in: web development, Podman and Buildah (and containers in general), system configuration using Bash, Python, and/or Ansible, and blogging https://dev.to/bowmanjd. While I use Fedora on my personal laptop, I also have been using Fedora on Windows Subsystem for Linux at work, for years. You can read about getting that to work https://dev.to/bowmanjd/install-fedora-on-windows-subsystem-for-linux-wsl-4b26 .
I would love to give back to the community, and I am quite flexible with how I can be involved. Packaging feels comfortable to me, as does documentation, and anything involving Python. For instance, if there are orphaned packages that could do with some care, I would love to hear what next steps would be involved. I could also suggest some packages that could be considered for inclusion, but I think it would be good for me to learn more about the process first.
Parts of Fedora I use and care about the most:
- sway/wlroots/wayland - Python and Python tools/packages - Neovim and Vim - Podman, Buildah, Docker - Anything that makes the command-line experience blissful, such as ripgrep. bat, and the like
I have been using Linux and open source software for decades. I started using Redhat 5.2 in 1999, and for a few years used Debian, then Archlinux. I tried Fedora some years ago and haven't looked back since. I tend to use Alpine or a RHEL derivative in containers.
I am comfortable communicating, submitting PRs, answering (and asking) questions in forums, etc. Email and Matrix and Discord are communication tools with which I am confident, but I am flexible (IRC is fine, for instance).
My first language is English, and my Spanish and Arabic are probably not proficient enough to be useful to anyone.
I can and do use Gimp and Inkscape when necessary, but design is certainly not my first language :( I am much more comfortable writing and reading computer languages or English.
People that work with me generally affirm that I am a thoughtful engineer, and also a good communicator, conversationalist, and can even make people laugh at times.
I feel like 2-4 hours a week (or less) on average is feasible in terms of time commitment from me.
Thank you for your hospitality!
Jonathan
