Hey there!
I'm excited to get to know the Fedora developer community a bit
better and would like to quickly say that I don't really have much
experience with this kind of communication structure (mailing lists
etc), but am going to do my best to integrate with it properly. If
I'm sending messages to the wrong place or spamming something, please
just let me know. To be safe, I'm going to be sending this message to
my ticket (#253 on Fedora Welcome) and to the fedora join mailing
list.
Anyway, I'm Seth. I'm 16 and I'm doing my GCSEs in the UK currently.
I have always had an interest for computing, and first got into Linux
(as my desktop daily driver) a year or two ago. I've only been using
Fedora on my primary desktop for a few months, but have been
absolutely blown away by it and feel that I am in the right position
to dedicate a bit of my time to helping a FOSS project. Because the
Fedora community has been so welcoming to me, I thought this would be
a great place for me to start. Besides from my interest in computing,
I enjoy nature, going on walks and camping with friends. And if you
can't find me, I'm probably off on my Steam Deck somewhere.
I have made a few basic contributions to FOSS projects before, but
nothing that major. I have performed some database migrations on
Veloren (the open-source Rust voxel game) as well as various other
miscellaneous projects, including a few things I've worked on myself.
You can have a look at my GitHub here: <https://github.com/iSaluki>
if you'd like a bit more detail on what I've done. Admittedly, most
of the "cooler" stuff I have done isn't open-source (I've made a few
games and websites etc). I would like to change that with some
contributions to Fedora. In the FOSS community, I see myself as
trying to find a mentor/sponsor and then trying to integrate into the
project a bit, finding a niche where I feel like I can make a
contribution to Fedora, whilst also challenging myself. I'd love to
say where I plan to take this in future, but I'm just not sure yet.
I'm usually fairly articulate and would be more than happy to assist
Fedora in areas other than programming, whether that is article
writing or just technical support, I'd be excited to get involved.
Fedora Workstation is my main desktop OS, I do not dual boot.
In terms of non-software development I feel like I could contribute a
bit in the video/podcasting and marketing areas, although probably
not any of the other options listed.
For my experience I'm just going to do a bullet point style list for
the sake of readability.
# Programming Languages
Python (and GDScript) - Most experienced, I've made a few bits and
bobs with it.
C++ - Enough experience to do the basics, still just a beginner.
Rust - Basically no experience, but a definite interest in learning
more about it.
HTML - Yes, I can make a 2005 grade website.
Other languages - I've dabbled with other languages before, such as
C#, but don't feel they're noteworthy.
I'm open to trying and learning new languages if it would be more
productive.
# Development Tools
Command Line: I am comfortable with the Linux command line and GNU
tools.
Version Control: Comfortable with git
Packaging: No experience but interested
Frameworks: I've used more than I can count, definitely comfortable
with the concept but I'm not going to attempt to list them here
unless there are specific ones you're interested in.
Infrastructure/Sysadmin: I've used Linode and DigitalOcean before as
well as hyperscalers (briefly) and have decent experience with
managing infrastructure and system administration. I do quite a bit
of work on my home network, which runs Linux.
# Communication Platforms
I have barely used mailing lists before, so please excuse any errors
I make.
For my preferred communications platform, I tend to use Discord, but
can use whatever really.
I've moderated and administrated lots of forums and online
communities in my time, I have a lot of experience in the area and
would be up for giving the Fedora project a hand if that would be
useful.
For my time commitment, I'd go with 2-6 hours per week. I can't
guarantee this, but think it's a safe bet to say I'll be able to
spend somewhere in this time range working on Fedora each week. Stuff
such as moderating and replying to emails can probably be counted
separately though as I find myself doing that in my spare time
without much in the way of energy drain.
I hope that's enough info for you and that this message gets to
everyone properly. I look forward to finding out what comes next, and
am here if you have any questions or anything that you'd like me to
answer.
Thanks for your time,- Seth
