Introducing Myself

06 Jul '22

Hello, My name is Levy Scalise, I am a Brazilian, doing a PhD in Physics. Always loved the open-source community and ideals, used Linux for more than 10 years. My skills are Basic Python, Basic C and starting to get an interest in Haskell. After 10 years I think it is time to return something to the open source community. I know about the Fedora Project just researching Linux and distributions. I have used Free/Open-Source for 10 years, I already did some distro hopping but then stopped on Fedora. This is the first time I participated in FOSS. Trying to learn and increase my knowledge in small steps and help the community. I have a bachelor in Physics and a Master's Degree also in Physics where I work with Quantum Simulations, have some skills with Linux and CLI (just basic things), basic python, basic C and starting to study Haskell on my own. I use GNU/Linux and Fedora is my main distribution. I am looking to spend 6 hours per week. Thank you very much.

Introducing Myself

Hi! My name is Maíra Canal, I'm Brazilian, 20 years old, and currently, I'm studying Computer Engineering at the University of São Paulo. I'm a huge Fedora fan since Fedora 34. I mean, I have two laptops, and all of them run Fedora. I have Fedora stickers on my backpack and my nickname at the University almost became Fedora as I was a Fedora evangelist on the campus. I tell more about the way learned about the Fedora project in this blog post [1], but, short story, I was pretty mad with Pop_OS!, watched a YouTube video, and got madly fascinated by Fedora 34. Installed and, since then, I and Fedora live a love affair. I love the Fedora community and how the distro is managed, although I wasn't a direct part of this. But, I would like to change that. I really want to help Fedora become a better distro each and every day! Ok, so let's hop on to my skills. My first contribution to open-source was in October 2021 to the Linux Kernel. Since then, I have over 20 patches merged to mainstream and a couple more on review [2]. I also have contributions to meta-openembedded, kworkflow, and IGT. Moreover, I speak Brazilian Portuguese natively, so I have already done some translation work for GNOME. I'm also pretty engaged in the open-source community in Brazil, as I have contact with three important college-related FOSS groups. Currently, I'm part of Google Summer of Code on the X.Org Foundation. My project is related to KUnit and AMDGPU drivers, and you can check more on that here [3][4]. Ok, that's my FOSS background. About my skills: - I really like to program in C, C++, and Rust. I also know how to program in Java, Python, and JavaScript, but it's not my passion. I love to work with low-level code and system architecture. - I use Git as my version control system. - I know how to package a simple rpm package. - I like community development and outreach (FYI I found out about Fedora Join while looking for Fedora Ambassadors). - I speak Portuguese natively and speak English fluently. - I don't have any other OS other than Fedora (as you can check on [1] if Fedora doesn´t support, I build support but I don´t install a new distro). I use Fedora Workstation with GNOME. I believe I would fit well on some development projects or community development projects. I would really like to see the Fedora community in Brazil grow (maybe see a Hatch in São Paulo next year). Also, documentation and translation are jobs that I could help with. Regarding communication platforms, I have used mailing lists before (on the kernel). I'm always on Matrix/IRC, so I believe that's my favorite real-time chat platform. I never moderated any forums. In terms of volunteering, I believe about 6-8 hours per week. Sometimes less (in finals week for example), sometimes more (vacation). I guess that's it! Thank you for your attention and time!

Hi there! I found a bug at Fedora 35 Common Bugs wiki. I would like to fix it. For that, I have already created my Fedora Account. I have already signed the Fedora Project Contributor Agreement. The next step is to join the proper group. I suppose it is wikiedit, but someone should confirm. If somebody could help me to join, I would appreciate. Thanks in advance. Best regards.

New contributor alert

Hi everyone This is Jagruti. I am from India. I work as a Full Stack Developer in Java. I started contributing to open source in Feb 2022. First to freeCodeCamp and now to Open Food Facts. It has been three months and I contribute actively to Open Food Facts in Python. I also help with documentation this has helped me learn markdown. I do write articles to explain coding concepts on Medium. Recently one of my articles has been published on freeCodeCamp as well. I have joined the Fedora mailing list for more than a month now and have been following devel lists as well. I wish to contribute to Fedora's documentation. I have followed the instructions given in prerequisites for Fedora docs <https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-docs/contributing/prerequisites/>. My operating system is Windows 11 and I have installed Podman. I am still not sure how to run newly developed features on my local machine, maybe this is something I would figure out along the way. It would be really helpful if someone could help me in getting started on working with documentation. In the future, as and when I get familiar with the code repository, I look forward to contributing to code as well. Right now I dedicate around 2 hours each weekday. And have 10-12 hours on weekend. I would be happy to start contributing to Fedora in any way possible. Thanks & Regards, Jagruti

Hello :)

Hello everyone, This is my first real time participating in a FLOSS project, I choose Fedora project as I saw how warming the Fedora Mexico community is, I would like to contribute to the project in any way I can, I'm also a distro hopper trying to find his place in Fedora (Thanks to the Fedora Mexico community :) ), distributions that most like me are usually the stable ones like Red Hat, Debian and OpenSuse, sometimes I try more unstable distributions but that doesn't happen often, I have experience as a DevOps engineer in Mexico, the tools on which I have more experience are Python, Bash, Docker and Jenkins. I previously joined to fedora-infra mailing list, but I didn't send any email, I just read a lot of email there, I don't have any preferred real time chat platform, I use Telegram, Signal, Threema, Discord, and WhatsApp, but I can use whatever is needed for communicate, sadly I don't have much experience interacting in online forums and often times I cannot distinguish sarcasm :) I'm looking to volunteer on average 2 hours a week, sadly as I have a day job and small kids :) I cannot guarantee more time than that, also after reading about the Engineering teams I'm interested on joining the Fedora Package Maintainers, so I'm going to follow up their guidelines and recommendations (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/), in the next couple of days, but as I'm new to the project if you have any feedback or recommendation, is going to be greatly appreciated! Have an awesome day, and thanks for reading...!!! Salvador Gudino
