Hi,
I should write this earlier but I kept thinking how to say this. When I joined the infrastructure group I wanted to do some development contribution for the fedora project but soon I found that we are not doing development here. Then I thought maybe I can do something else to contribute and I learned something. However, I found there is too many different things to learn for me while I'm overwhelmed by a lot of things. I apologize if I let you down.
Thanks, Yisu

Well, depends on what you mean by development. ;)
We do have a number of applications we develop (pagure, fedocal, etc).

No need to appologize. Yes, there's tons of things to learn and everything goes by very fast, sometimes making it pretty difficult.
It helps to try and focus... find some one thing that looks interesting to you and try and learn about just that one thing, then move on to others (or just keep working on that one thing! thats fine too!)
You may want to also talk to the join sig:
#fedora-join or https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/fedora-join@lists.fedoraproject....
They specialize in trying to find places for new folks to contribute.
So, relax, no need for appology or stress. Just take a deep breath and try and find a place where you will be happy to contribute with Fedora. There are many. :)

Hello Yisu!
If you speak Python (or want to learn), I'd love some help with Bodhi (Fedora's update system). You can get started by reading our developer docs here:
https://github.com/fedora-infra/bodhi/blob/develop/docs/developer_docs. rst
If Python isn't for you, perhaps you could elaborate a bit on you skillset (or the skills you'd like to develop) and we may be able to guide you towards a project. Hope that helps!
