Welcome

Hello adarshnair416! 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 Fedora Team,
Thank you for the warm welcome! I'm Adarsh Nair, a tech enthusiast passionate about open-source tools and community collaboration. I have experience building web applications using Python, React, FastAPI, and Linux-based systems like Fedora. This is my first time contributing to a FOSS community formally, and I'm excited to support Fedora through testing, documentation, and outreach. I regularly explore tools like Git, Canva, and GIMP, and I enjoy creating educational content on platforms like YouTube. I'm familiar with mailing lists and comfortable with platforms like Telegram and Discord. I can dedicate a few hours weekly and look forward to learning and contributing wherever I can add value. Thanks again for the opportunity!

My Skills:
Software Development: React.js, FastAPI, Firebase, Python, SQL, Git
OS: I use Fedora Linux alongside Windows, and I'm getting more comfortable with command line tools and package managers.
Design Tools: Canva, GIMP
Video & Content: I run a small educational YouTube channel focused on government opportunities, tech tools, and career resources.
Other Interests: Blogging, community building, and exploring AI-powered educational tools.

Welcome, it's great to meet you and have you here. I've added some "interest" tags for you, but please edit them as you see fit as you explore the community.

Is there anything we can help you with currently?
