Self-Introduction: Liu Zixi

Hi, my name is Liu Zixi, and my Fas user name is "jetsaman". I often live in
Liaoning, China and study here, but I often travel to Beijing during holidays. My IRC user
name is jetsaman, although I'm exploring this im tool that doesn't work in China


I learned about the huge community of Fedora through my friend
"mengjuntezhangui" on the Internet. We are all users of Fedora for a long time .
I have always been very interested in the marketing project of Fedora, but now I decide to
officially join it.


To be honest, as a student, I don't have much experience in software development, but
my future employment expectation has a lot to do with news report or writing, organization
marketing, so I choose to join Fedora marketing project to make contribution.


I once worked as an editor in oschina ("开源中国" in Chinese, a well-known open
source community in China), contributing dozens of articles on the comparison,
introduction or recommendation of different open source software;


I also maintain my blog independently, and use my spare time to upload some articles about
software recommendation and simple technology teaching;


In addition, I have participated in some not very well-known projects, but it is not worth
mentioning here



Marketing skills:


1 - writing marketing advertisements that are easy to understand and suitable for my peers
(students or university graduates who are slightly older than me) is one of my greatest
strengths.

2 - writing wiki, I have led the editing of many pages of Wikipedia (although most of them
are about current affairs)

3 - learn about the local (China) situation. Since I have been a full member of many
domestic software communities and enthusiasts' forums, I know the domestic software
platforms and large-scale forums very well



Other skills:


1 - basic understanding of the operating system, although not very professional, but as a
long-term user of Fedora, I really have to understand the principles of Fedora and even
Linux.

2 - coordination and management. Although it seems that this has little to do with
marketing, I would like to mention that now I am the manager of Baidu tieba (a substitute
for discord in China) Fedora bar, which has about 17000 followers and 115000 posts.


I'd also like to learn:


1 - from an international perspective, I want to know some marketing habits outside China
as my future reserves.

2 - English communication skills, English is not my professional direction, but I think
participating in marketing in Fedora can greatly improve my English ability.

3 - learning from team work experience


What I expect from Fedora and myself:

For Fedora: build a mature community of Fedora in China (I can't think I can build a
mature community in a short time, but this is really an important direction, because many
Fedora simplified Chinese communities are finally dissolved due to lack of vitality, so
that many people can only discuss in QQ or wechat groups)


For myself: achieve the goals above :-)



In addition: maybe you will be confused about the words and grammar of this article, but
English is not my native language, so I apologize to you, for letting you read such a non
smooth self introduction.

Welcome Liu Zixi (劉仔细 - hope tones are correct). Looking forward to 
your contributions. You might consider writing an article on use of 
Fedora in China - most of the articles at present are for English 
speaking audience, but this may be an opportunity to practice your 
writing. Setting up social media applications such as QQ, Wechat may be 
of interest to Fedora users. An overview of Open source software in 
China would also be great. See
https://fedoramagazine.org/
and in particular

Hello Liu Zixim

As Benson suggests, your skillset sounds like a great asset for the Fedora
Magazine. You should check the workflow [1] and try to get involved there.

Thanks for coming and offering your help!

Br,

That being said, the magazine could also support articles in languages 
other than English, and does not seem to explicitly require article 
proposals to be in English:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-magazine/contributing/
This might be a good way to embrace diversity and widen participation.

RedHat/Fedora has mostly used English for daily operations. Companies 
such as Lenovo have probably had to adopt a multilingual environment.

Thanks!

We do:

 (see #8)

Although there is some irony in saying "English is the lingua franca"... :-)

What is needed to support other languages? Fedora is also translated to

other languages, so many of the people who use Fedora in a language 
other than English might be willing to also contribute magazine 
articles. Ideally one could choose which languages to receive articles in.

There are plugins in Wordpress for doing this.

We should take this discussion to
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/c/project/magazine/57, though, rather
than the marketing list.
