Seeking recommendation on ways to contribute.
by Madhurjya Roy 01 Aug '14

01 Aug '14

Hello, I'm a 17 year old high school student from India. I've been using linux for two years now and fedora since last year (I've used debian before). I really like the fedora platform and am interested in contributing to the Fedora project. I want to know the options available to me to contribute in this project! FYI - 1. Being a high school student, I'm not very proficient at coding, yet! (I just know some C++ and basic Java) 2. I'm quite comfortable using BASH, though. 3. I think, I have good communication skills! (Of course, I'm fluent in English!) 4. I love science. 5. I love open source. 6. I'm good at reviewing. 7. Since, in my country (particularly my region) most people use Microsoft Windows and have very little knowledge on GNU/Linux based open source solutions, I really want to make them aware of the vast and amazing open source world they are missing! Fedora is a really good community driven open source OS and that is why I want to john this project! Hope, I'd get some recommendation on what I could do to contribute. Thanks. Madhurjya Roy
