Welcome

Hello jonashub! Welcome to Fedora!

Before we begin, please subscribe to the Fedora join mailing list at
fedora-join@lists.fedoraproject.org.
We use this list for general discussion, and it is also where the community
shares tasks that need help.

These links are a good read to begin with. They tell you what the Free/Open
Source community is about, and then they'll introduce you to Fedora: what
Fedora is all about, and what we do, and of course, how we do it:

Next, when you're ready, could you please introduce yourself (preferably on
the list) so that the community can get to know you? (Interests, skills,
anything you wish to say about yourself really).

Finally, could you let us know how you learned about the Fedora project? Was it
from a colleague, or social media, for example?

If you have any questions at all, please ask! We'll use this ticket to keep in
touch! :)

Get to know each other better

In addition, could you provide some information to understand your requirements
better? (You can write them in the introduction, or answer here if you feel more
comfortable).

For example:

your experience with Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) communities/ecosystems:
- have you participated in FOSS before, or is this the first time?
- how do you imagine your place in a FOSS community?
your background/skills, for example:
- community development and outreach, campaigning, journalism
- Operating System (Do you use GNU/Linux as your main OS? Is Fedora Linux your main distribution?)
- non-software development: design (Inkscape/Gimp/?), music/video/podcasting, marketing, language proficiency
- software development related: command line, version control: git/hg/svn/?, rpm/packaging, programming languages/frameworks/utilities, testing, infrastructure/sysadmin
your experience in communication platforms:
- have you used mailing lists before?
- what is your preferred real time chat platform?
- have you helped with moderating/administering forums?
how much time are you looking to/are you able to spend on volunteering (approximate hours per week)?

Remember that this is not a job interview at all. This is just an icebreaker to
help all your new friends get to know you quicker. The better we know you, the
better we can support you in identifying Fedora activities that promise to be
relevant for you.

Please write how much/whatever you wish. :).

Hello everyone!
My name is Jonas. I'm interested in working in this community on some cool projects. I'm also noob, but I want to learn new stuff and help with anything I could help with. I'm happy to join this community and be part of it. I discovered fedora project through my friend @smoliicek.

When you are a little more familiar with Fedora or when you can identify a place you would like to help out, let us know and we can introduce you or tell you how to get involved.

Cheers!

Glad to have you here Jonas. I would recommend that you set up your Linux environment and learn as much as you can. Ask Fedora at discussion.fedoraproject.org and the #fedora channel on Matrix are great places where we can all help you to get more acquainted with Fedora and Linux. There are no stupid questions (though we like it if you do a search first). People on both the forums like to chat and answer questions. When you are a little more familiar with Fedora or when you can identify a place you would like to help out, let us know and we can introduce you or tell you how to get involved. Cheers! MatH

Hi,
I’ve been looking at how things work here and exploring the available options.
I also tried the translation workflow and translated a small part to get familiar with the process.

Super glad you looked at translation - that is an area that is very important, and easy to get into.

Keep up the good work and glad to have you here.

Can you do me a favour and make sure you can add a comment to the new Forge?
