Hello everyone,
Hope you are well.
I'm happy to reach out to you via this email, since I've been looking forward to joining the Fedora project for some time now. I wouldn't normally send long emails, so I apologize in advance 😀
I don't have formal qualifications in any of this, but mostly different levels of knowledge on various topics. Like most self-learners come to realize, connecting the dots is always a monster of its own.
*To give you an overview of what's in my pockets:*
- Can work on a terminal and find my way around new stuff. - Can create basic scripts. - General knowledge of the OS - Very basic knowledge of JAVA, Python and SQL - *Problem solving: *though I come from a completely different background (audit/tax), I do spend my days figuring out stuff. I might need to go through a learning curve in many aspects, but I come equipped with patience and the will to find solutions. - Heavy coffee drinker
*What do I want?*
I want to gain in-depth knowledge of Linux-based systems, both due to personal interest (mainly) and because I daydream of changing my career path to something related to this (tax is not the gratest source of joy I've come across). I think that going for the RHCSA certification would be a good start, so I'm mostly interested in sysadmin tasks. I'm also interested in development, but I don't want to get ahead of myself.
That said, it is hard for me to retain things in my head unless I have used them to solve practical problems. For this reason, I want to make myself of use to other people, help solve problems, and hope I get to learn from experienced users along the way.
*IRC* You can find me in IRC/freenode as *hydro_carbon*.
*Questions for the team:*
- Is there something specific you'd like me to get involved with? - I'm currently going through the documentation ( https://fedora-infra-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ ), and I know I'll be joining the apprentice's team; I'm not sure if you would like me to start with something specific. - Thursday meetings - any recommended browser IRC-client I can use at work? (can't install stuff on that computer) - I created the Fedora account and an email address was generated **@fedoraproject.org http://fedoraproject.org*, to redirect any traffic to my personal account. However, this is not working. Did I miss anything?
Thank you in advance! (and happy new year!)

Hi Agustin,
I’m fairly new around here myself, but here are some answers to your questions.
1. A good starting point is to look at the issues marked as "easyfix” [1] 2. I use IRCCloud [2]; they have free and pay plans 3. For the email alias to be active, you need to have signed the CLA and be part of a non-CLA group [3]
Hope that helps a bit.
