Welcome

Hello adityapant! 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 Aditya Pant. I am PhD candidate from BITS Pilani, India. From past 6 months I am fond of deep learning research with particular interest in generative AI.

Hello Aditya,

I see you have found the secret backdoor to open your own ticket!

Feel free to come and chat with us on Matrix to help you find your way around Fedora.

Normally we open tickets for people, and then they introduce themselves on the mailing list :)

I am happy to answer any questions you might have here.

Currently Fedora is in a position where we have the software pieces so users can run their own LLMs, but we do not manufacture or deploy them ourselves. Their is a machine learning group https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/AI-ML feel free to contact them on their channels.

Regards,
Mat

Hi Nisha!

Now I am really confused!! Are you Aditya? Did you reply on someone else's ticket?

The formality is for you to sign up to the mailing list and introduce yourself on that. I would be happy to introduce you, but you know more about yourself than I do!

Feel free to DM me on Matrix, or ank any questions in the Join channel.

Looking forward to working with you,
Mat
