Welcome

Hello dualraf! 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. :).

Hi everyone, my name is Zair, I'm a software engineer specialized in cybersecurity and I'm looking forward to contribute to this open source project.

In my experience with FOSS, this is the first time participating in a FOSS community, I've been using Fedora for 3 or 4 years, where I began using Fedora Gnome and now I'm using Fedora KDE. Also, I've participated in a project to port a Custom ROM called CrDroid to a xiaomi device for 4 months but it just was mainly fix bugs in the code with no added functionalities.

In my skills:
Since I'm getting deep into cybersecurity, I'm currently using Fedora KDE as my main OS and also I'm using Kali Linux and Windows as VMs.
Related to software development, I have experience with git and repo. Also with c/c++, java, bash and python to scripting and low-level programming (I've touched some code in the android kernel). But in general, I'm willing to learn new tools and to contribute with my knowledge.

In communication platforms:
I haven't use mailing list before but I'm happy to learn to use it. I preferred to use Discord or signal, and now I'm learning to use Element.

Currently, I can spend around 6 hours a week to volunteer.

Welcome! Great to have you here. I think the Fedora Security SIG is pretty active, if you want to take a look there, but please do just explore the community to see what you'd like to jump into too :)
