I'm enthusiastic about science and computers.I like some sports like cycling and F1 and I enjoy playing video games and learning about new advancements in science and technology. This year I am going to start a computer science degree.
I first experienced Linux and FOSS thanks to a raspberry pi. I really liked the idea of being able to see and change the code of software. Besides, I like how one can adapt Linux to run from the most powerful computer on earth to embedded devices. My journey with the Linux desktop began when I received an external drive where I could install Linux without messing with Windows. I installed Ubunto where I learnt the basics of Linux and six months after I installed Arch. Also, I was annoyed with the fact that I needed to connect the external drive whenever I wanted to use Linux so I installed it alongside Windows on the internal drive. Fast forward to two month ago, I installed Fedora, which I knew thanks to Youtube and Reddit, because I wanted an out of the box configured Linux distro as in I did not have much time to spend configuring it. The most decisive factor was its intention of pushing the Linux desktop forward and adopting new technologies rapidly. Another factor was its up to date packages. Currently, I am trying Fedora silverblue as its premise seems very interesting. I have used several FOSS projects although I never contributed to them. I have always wanted to contribute back to FOSS projects but I was overwhelmed. I would like to push the open source software further, especially the Linux desktop and Fedora. I have basic programming skills in Python and Go, which I have used in some basic personal projects. Currently I am learning a bit of Rust. I also know some basic knowledge of git. Last, I am comfortable using the command line and know how to do some basic stuff. I am also eager to learn any skill necessary or helpful and new knowledge while I contribute. Regarding the mailing list, I have never used a mailing list. I do not have a prefered real time chat platform although I have set up matrix/element and have a discord account. Furthermore, I have never moderated or administered any forum. I do not know exactly how much time I will spend volunteering. It is a difficult question to answer as it would greatly vary depending on the mood, personal life, etc. However, I would happily spend at least 2-4 hours per week as stated in the "How to be a successful contributor" page. I hope I do not bother anyone or bore any readers. Thanks for reading and the help. _______________________________________________ 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, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
