Hi, My name is Javier. I'm a physicist by training and have been interested in software since very young. I've been coding since secondary school (more than 30 years) at different levels and used several languages (C, C++, Matlab, Python, C#, Lua, bash shell, Basic, FORTRAN, Pascal, Delphi, and some others). I'm not an expert in most of them ;-).
I've been developing software as my main job for 6 years, mostly as a C developer on embedded systems. I'm interested in the Linux OS and free software philosophy in general. There are several reasons behind this interest, but an important one for me is that open source code allows monotonic progress. No one can remove the work that has been made up to now. I believe this is a very elegant way to empower people and provide freedom. I use Ubuntu at work and Fedora Desktop at home. Furthermore, I have also installed and configured servers for personal use (CentOS stream, Lubuntu). For embedded systems y have some familiarity with the Yocto Project. I come to the Fedora community with two main goals: - Contributing to the open source ecosystem and - Expand my expertise on the software development craftsmanship I believe I could devote 2 to 4 hours a week. I will adapt the time as things progress. Likewise, I did not know where to start, so I applied to the initiative "Join Fedora" with the hope of getting some guidance. I'm excited to start working on something interesting and useful, and also getting to know interesting people from who I could learn new skills. Javier. -- _______________________________________________ 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
