Introducing myself

[Joakim Forøysund]

Hi all! I am new to this mailing list and would like to introduce myself. I am an
automation technician and technical institute engineer. 

I have been using various Linux distros on and off since 2005 when I first got introduced
to Fedora. I've switched between Ubuntu, Debian, Mint and Fedora, but over time I have
found that Fedora is the distro that suits me best and the one I actually enjoy quite a
lot. For a few years a Macbook has been my goto-computer, but I've tried to keep up
with what's happening in the Linux world. Now I want to contribute to the Fedora
project since I've started using it on a regular basis again, simply because I think
it's a brilliant system.

In time I want to contribute in development and programming, but first I want to get to
know Fedora even better by contributing to docs and translation.

I have signed up for several of the mailing lists, including the join, docs and trans
lists. I have registered on FAS, signed CLA and uploaded the SSH key. In Zanata I am
approved for writing and I have logged in to Pagure. I have already translated some
content in Zanata to get started. I have also joined several IRC channels where my nick is
foroysund.

I have to admit that it has been a bit overwhelming to get an overview of all the
different sites and systems that are being used. I still struggle finding my way around,
but I'll get a hold of it soon. 

I look forward to contributing and collaborating with you all. If anyone has any advice or
heads up for me it will be highly appreciated. Also, I still have no access to any FAS
groups (except Signed CLA Group and Signers of the Fedora Project Contributor Agreement),
but I've applied to the Fedora Translators Group. I would like to hear from you if
there are any other groups or forums I should join.

Again, I am looking forward to contributing and collaborating with you all, and last but
not least being part of the community.

Sincerely, Joakim Forøysund

Hello Joakim,

Have you been already approved to the Translators Group?
If yes you can ignore the rest of this message.

What language would you like to translate to?

Please follow this guide for a complete self-introduction:

Hello,

Rafal, read the email. He says he already translated content in Zanata.
Therefore, he's approved as translator in a language team. From what I
understand, he's waiting (or was waiting) for approval in the international
localisation team.
Joakim, you don't say but from your surname I'd assume you're either
Norwegian or Sweden. Am I wrong? Or maybe Danish. In any case, welcome
aboard and glad to have more translators for Scandinavian languages.
Besides this, and just for your information, you can install Fedora in dual
boot on a MacBook.  For details, you can check documentation (including
blog posts)  and drop a line to the QA team. Some of them have Apple
laptops with Fedora installed in single and dual boot and know what to do
and how. Last but not least, don't hesitate to ask any questions. We're
always here, although sometimes it takes us a while to respond  (sorry for
that!).

Kind regards,
Silvia
