Hi, I am Sebastian and I'd like to get wiki2beamer into fedora. I already built a package for it see Bug #851891. Currently I review packages of other maintainers in order to get a sponsor. If you are also working on joining the packager group and want me to review your package or review my package just drop me a mail. Maybe we can learn from each other. Regards Sebastian

Hello again! Anyone here needs help getting started?
by Ankur Sinha 27 Aug '12

Hi folks, The mailing list has been a little quiet of late. I've seen quite a few new subscriptions though and was wondering if anyone needed assistance getting started? Please do not hesitate to mail to the list. The purpose of the list is to help new comers looking to contribute to fedora. If you do not e-mail the list with your queries, we'll never really know that you need help (we aren't psychic, yet ;) ). We don't randomly send out e-mails with information since such e-mails don't cover queries from newcomers generally. (other than these nudges I send out once in a while). Please also remember that we have an IRC channel: #fedora-join on Freenode[1] where you can come talk to us in person. There are chances that we aren't active on the IRC at times (time zones and the rest), so if you don't get any responses on the channel, please use the mailing list. We look forward to hearing from more folks. Anyway, welcome to Fedora!

I am a regular user of Fedora and want to contribute. I am a college student majoring in Computer Science. My knowledge of code is not that extensive, but it will get better as the semesters go on. I was looking into the Ambassador Project and thinking about being a Campus Ambassador. Are these things that a full-time college student would be able to handle? If not, are there any other areas that I could contribute?

Information on how to join the fedora project
by Nikhil Varghese 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

I am a regular user of fedora and I would like to join the fedora project. I have basic knowledge of C, C++ and Java (in case that may be necessary). This is the first project that I would like to contribute to, in other words, i do not have previous experience contributing to any open source project. My interests are: - programming - web development or perhaps i could help with bugs. As of now, I have joined the fedora-join mailing list. Can anyone please tell me where to start off helping with the project.

[Fwd: Self-Introduction: Thomas Denham]

Hi, my name is Thomas Denham and I live in the United Kingdom. My Fedora Account System (FAS) username is tmfdenham, I am new to IRC and would like help getting started! I am a desktop user of Fedora (17) and feel passionately about the benefits of Linux (Fedora) as an OS and predominantly FOSS. My main interests lie in Marketing and would love to eventually become an ambassador of Fedora. I have had some limited experience of marketing in my day job and chair a forum for 30 or so people in relation to my full time job which is all about bringing people together. I have produced posters/flyers and had to promote various projects. A couple of goals I have for the Fedora Project are a marked increase in uptake by the general computing population, and a clearer, wider understanding of the importance of FOSS etc. In my area it is relatively unheard of and I would like some support in marketing to as many people as possible in a clear non-to-technical way. I hope that I can begin to get actively involved in this community! Please help me get started! Kind Regards, Thomas Denham
