Greetings, everyone! I have been looking for a way to help the FOSS community, and during the Boston GNU/Linux Fest it was recommended that I visit the Fedora table. I'm looking for a structured group to join and do something useful for the community, and I was told that Fedora has the structure and organization that I seek. Anyhow, I have been a Debian user for years, am a FOSS advocate (read "zealot" there), and am more than willing to focus on Fedora if I can be useful here, instead. I did install it on my laptop, and have been using it for a week. I have a Jack-of-All-Trades background in IT, so I'm not a master of any subject, so I am guessing that I would be able to serve the community better in the Ambassador or Marketing areas, but it is naturally too early to tell. I have joined the Fedora site (username "uplink"), have subscribed to a few mailing lists, and am going to start digging in, using the "Explore the Fedora Project" page as a guide. I'm from Western Massachusetts, and I don't know of a lot of FOSS activity out here, but I haven't spent too much time looking. Maybe that will change in the future! I hope to be able to contribute something to the project. Take care. -- George Roberge www.andforthelamb.org Bugs come in through open Windows

Any newcomers here?
by Ankur Sinha 23 Mar '13

Hi! The list has been too quiet of late. Yet, I've been getting subscription notifications telling me that new people are in-fact subscribing to the list. The logical conclusion here is that new people are joining the list, but *not* using it. I'm not sure why that would be. Are new comers shy, or are they scared of being flamed, or is there another reason? I request/invite/implore any newcomers here to please go ahead and ask the list *whatever* you want, related to contributing to Fedora of course. We'll be more than happy to answer your questions and help you become part of the community. We do not bite, I promise! In the unlikely case that you have no questions and are well on your way to contributing to Fedora, I'll request you to at least send the list an e-mail introducing yourself. That'll tell us who you are, what you do, what you want to work on, and we can help you and introduce you to more folks that we know. -- Thanks, Warm regards, Ankur: "FranciscoD" Please only print if necessary.

Hi , I am Akanksha, from Bangalore. I have started as Fedora user few months back. I shorthand Fedora as F os. (No offence) F stands for Fedora, Fun, and Field deployments which are my interests. :-) I am exited to contribute in the project .I am connecting F vms with other FOSS servers. enabling prototype of field deployment for servers and systems. also setting up the test lab for regular testing of F releases. Thanks for the great support via mailing lists. I have a Question related to user page creation in Wiki. Is there any direct template to create the user page, or I need to type HTML in the edit field. Please point me if there is any template for user page creation. Thanks Akanksha
