Welcome

Hello @nicolasb ! 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, my name is Nicolas, i'm 22 years old from Brazil.
I work as a freelance linux systems administrator for over 4 years, used extensively many linux distros including fedora (as a desktop os and VM in qubes os).
Have installed, configured and maintained a lot software before, from worldpres to bitcoin nodes, monero nodes, tor nodes, php/nginx/apache web applications.
I have compiled and used custom linux kernels before, having my desktop use on idle only 250mb of ram (with audio, multiple monitors, web browser all working).

I am currently working as junior penetester and am hating it. Want to start a carrer developing FOSS.

To sum it up, i am a sysadmin/junior pentester capable of scripting that is happy to develop low level programming skills.

I have the resources to work full-time on fedora for a year. But this needs to open up some opportunity for me (money making).

That's it, i will be a pleasure to work for you people.

Welcome again @nicolasb.

I just want to note that Fedora is a volunteer driven organization so you will not directly make any money by working in the community. What you will get is more skills/experience to improve your professional profile, which may help you apply for jobs that you are interested in and so on.

Hi Nicolas,

Have you found your way around the Fedora ecosystem? How is your work situation?
If you are interested in volunteering with Fedora then feel free to ask us anything.

If you would like me to close your ticket, just say so, you are always welcome back any time.

Regards,
Mat
