Outreachy Round -13

[Riyafa Abdul Hameed]

Hi,

I am a Computer Science and Engineering undergraduate at University of
Moratuwa Sri Lanka. I have experience working on open source projects with
WSO2 and Apache Software Foundation.
I am quite keen to participate in the Round 13 of the Outreachy program
with Fedora. I am not quite sure how to begin. I went through the
Outreachy/2016 page [1] of Fedora. Is there new projects for the Round -13
and if so how can I get involved and submit a proposal?

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,
Riyafa

Greetings, Riyafa! Welcome to the Fedora Outreachy mailing list. Glad to 
have you here. :)

So for this round, it looks like we will have one slot for Fedora Hubs. 
I think Máirín can probably advise specifically about forming a 
proposal. But here's some useful resources to help you get started with 
the Fedora community and the Fedora Hubs project!

To get a feel for the Fedora community, I would recommend checking out 
Fedora Badges:

     https://badges.fedoraproject.org/about

You can earn badges for doing various tasks and completing certain 
milestones in Fedora. There's a ticket that outlines some of the best 
badges for beginners here:

     https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-badges/ticket/409

I would take a look at the following badges and see if you can try to 
start picking some of these up. This will help get you "bootstrapped" 
and ready to contribute to Fedora.

* Baby Badger
* Crypto Badger / Crypto Panda
* Curious Penguin
* Involvement
* Mugshot
* Speak-up!
* Macaron Cookie
* Origin
* Junior Tagger
* Junior Package Tagger
* White Rabbit

For the Fedora Hubs project specifically, I would start by subscribing 
to the mailing list for Hubs and also joining the IRC channel on 
Freenode. That info is here:

* Mailing list: 
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[e-mail]...
* IRC channel: #fedora-hubs on irc.freenode.net
* IRC beginner's guide: https://fedoramagazine.org/beginners-guide-irc/

Here's a few more "pages to know" for Hubs as well:

     http://hubs-dev.fedorainfracloud.org/

     https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Hubs

     https://pagure.io/fedora-hubs

 
https://devyani7kota.wordpress.com/2016/08/29/fedora-hubs-getting-started/

Hope this is all helpful to you! If you have any other questions, please 
let us know and we would be happy to answer them. :) Hopefully Máirín 
can give specifics on a Hubs proposal.

Hi Riyafa!

I'm ready to give you next steps once you've done that!

Thanks,
