Hi, I'm Nattes living in Geneva, Switzerland. I am half French and half British, and currently working at the University of Geneva in a service dedicated to dual careers in order to facilitate retention of women academics and researchers.
I made my first steps in the free software movement by setting up workshops to teach women how to contribute to Wikipedia during a mandate I had from the University's Diversity and Inclusion office. I still teach this in a 4 year assignment at the Gender Studies department financed by the Swiss National Science Foundation. I am very passionate about issues concerning the gender gap and promoting inclusion, as well as helping newbies to find their own way in complex and sometimes not very friendly projects. I am very interested in the way Fedora is doing this, with a clear defined process and very admirative of the Fedora Badges. I have had a few friends telling me how "fedorable" this community was, but since I was invited at the Fedora week of diversity last October, I have felt very shy because I am not a coder. Someone proposed that I translate docs, and I first I thought it would be pretty boring for an unpaid activity. But then as I do want to use free software more, and learn Python, I thought I could manage a win win approach by first translating documents that a newbie would stumble upon when joining your community. Apart from that I love reading (sci fi and feminist stuff above all), swimming and kayak, and playing Animal Crossing. I look forward to knowing more about Fedora! _______________________________________________ fedora-join mailing list -- fedora-join@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to fedora-join-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/fedora-join@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
