Hi, I have been using Linux for a long time as a user and server administrator. In the server world I manage systems for a voip provider, and as an end user I have experience with multiple distributions such as Debian, Slackware and Gentoo. I have been recently pointed towards Fedora as an accessible desktop system for blind users and have installed the Mate spin. Currently I am duel booting between Windows and Linux until I can get comfortable with using Linux tools for all aspects of interacting with the Fedora project and others. I look forward to working with you all in the Fedora project. Can someone reach out back to me to help me figure out what areas would be best for me to start working with based on some of my goals and experience.
Thanks, Tom
Hi Tom,
As an administrator, you must be pretty versatile, able to solve problems as they occur. you could probably get into any area you wanted given a bit of time.
Have you thought about being a package maintainer? Find a package that need some assistance and help the other maintainers stay on top of it.
Really though it is up to you. You are welcome to join any Matrix room or channel and ask any questions you want. Jump in, people are pretty friedly, though they do respond better to direct questions - so find an interest and go for it!
Welcome, and feel free to join the social channel, or to chat with Join on Matrix any time too.
Cheers,
Mat
