Hi all,
I first came across Fedora back in 2016. I was introduced to Fedora in my Linux course. I have been interested in computer technologies for nearly have my life, and I've done web development, as well as an internship with a software development company.
My programming skills varies. I started with Java back in 2008, and then Python 2014. I took a hiatus for about two weeks, and then I took C++ course. I started web developing in 2015 and have been active since then, but no real steady work, like work experience with a company. About 2016-2017, I started looking at projects that I can contribute, because I want to learn the ins and outs of Linux and how it works. I tested out different variants of linux distros, and I ended with Gentoo, Fedora and Ubuntu.
I do not have any certifications at the moment, but I am aiming for one of the pentest certification and as well as several Linux certifications from LPI. I want to go into a DevOps role, and I would like to learn more about how it all works.
Thank you for taking the time to reply my introduction.

Thanks for your interest into contributing, a good way to start is by joining the following IRC channels on the freenode network #fedora-admin, #fedora-apps, please feel free to ask questions there that's the best way to get more knowledge :).
#fedora-admin is more focused on the sys admin discussion you can ask there to join the apprentice group that gives you limited access to some of our infrastructure machine and #fedora-apps is focused on the application development.
Also we have a weekly meeting (https://apps.fedoraproject.org/calendar/infrastructure/) on IRC which is opportunity to introduce yourself and also good way to keep with what is going on currently in the Infrastructure.
Thank you for taking the time to reply my introduction.

Thank you for replying back. I apologize for the grammatical error. I was typing too fast for me to realize my mistake. I was in the #fedora-admin and I asked about the apprentice group, but I had left earlier so I wasn't sure if anyone has responded. As you can see, I am interested in both sysadmin and apps, so I will be participating in both.

I just checked in the #fedora-admin and I was added to the Apprentice group. I would like to know what to do to get started. I read through the documentation regarding the setup.

Since your are interested in development and sysadmin, I think the easier to get started is to find an application you would like to get involved in on the development side, then once you are getting more familiar with this application it will be easier to start looking at the sysadmin aspect.
Luckily for you we have a fair bit of application to choose from :) we have a page that gather the some of the good first issues (https://fedoraproject.org/easyfix/) this is called easyfix but it is really a list of good first issues and don't hesitate to reach out if you need help to get started with any of these. I think I would also recommend looking at our github organization (https://github.com/fedora-infra) and look at which projects are actively developed.
We also have projects hosted on the git forge we develop and maintain (https://pagure.io/), the source of the application and how to get started is available here (https://pagure.io/pagure/).
Hope that helps

Clement,
Thank you for pointing the way. I will take a look at the projects actively developed on Github, and I will also look at Pagure as well.
