Hi all, My name is Emil van der Westhuizen. I am a computer engineering graduate from South Africa. I work full time as a full stack web developer. I'm interested in getting more exposure to/learning about developing services, applications (gtk and command line), and lower level system components.
Experience with Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) communities/ecosystems: This will be my first time contributing to an open source project. I hope to learn a lot and make more and more significant contributions to the open source projects that I love and use on a daily basis. If anyone would be kind enough to offer some mentorship and help me get on my feet with the fedora project and making contributions, I would be very grateful. Background/skills: I've only been using Linux (and some FreeBSD) operating systems for 7 years now. Fedora is my distribution of choice and it's what I use on my personal machines. I'm proficient with Linux and administering it from the command line. I'm very familiar with git and use it daily. Programming languages I mainly use and have experience with: - Python - Javascript (and some frontend frameworks, mostly Vue) - Rust Experience in communication platforms: - I have not used mailing lists before. - I'm open to using any chat platform but do prefer open source solutions. - I've not moderated or administered forums before. - I will be setting a target of contributing 2 to 4 hours a week minimum and work my way up to contributing more. _______________________________________________ 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
