Excellent :)

I'm traveling on business today to NYC, but should be online in couple of hours.

You should be working on attaining the "bootstrapped" badges series, and looking for interesting projects and tools on the CommOps wiki page.

An important part of Outreachy, and Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) in general, is self selection and self direction. You are most likely to learn and succeed in areas that interest YOU, so it is important to identify what area of the project is most interesting for you personally. Once you have found an interesting tool or project, you can ask some of the other folks in channel about it, see if they have suggestions, and also check their issue trackers for tasks/bugs.

If you have questions, it is best to ask them in channel publicly, because likely others are having similar issues, and we can all learn from eachother together :)

You are also more likely to get answers from other mentors as well, instead of just blocking on me.

I've cc'd the Fedora Outreachy list on this reply, which you should also continue doing in the future. In Fedora (and many other FOSS projects) we default to open and public communication unless there is a compelling reason not to.

Hope this helps, --RemyD. On Oct 29, 2015 7:04 AM, "Vnisha Srivastav" iwishtowish@gmail.com wrote:

Vnisha,

We're glad to hear you're interested in participating in our Outreachy cycle with Fedora :)

As per the instructions on our Wiki Page ( https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Outreachy/2015), you should join our IRC channel #fedora-outreachy on irc.freenode.net, and introduce yourself there to the other mentors and community members.

Then start looking at the Community Operations (CommOps) Team's wiki page (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/CommOps) to get an idea of the areas we work within at Fedora, and the types of tools that are available to us.

Once we get a feel for your interests, we can point you towards specific mentors and parts of the project that suit you, that would be a good fit for contributions you are interested in exploring.

You should also join #fedora-commops, which is where our team hangs out and coordinates our efforts.

See you soon, --RemyD.
