Hello everyone Here's a slightly modified version of my intro I sent to the translation team mailing list.
It's a pleasure to meet you all. My name is Adaline and my pronouns are they/she in English, and hen/ho in Norwegian (hen/hun if you're writing in Bokmål). My native languages are US English, Russian, and Western Armenian, though I have largely forgotten Armenian as a result of not using it and my Russian is a tad rusty. I'm at a CEFR B2 level in Norwegian (according to my teachers, though I also have planned to take the national language test when I visit the country). I'm currently working on getting to a C-level. Nynorsk is the language I use day in and day out on my computer whenever an application supports it. I decided to take a stab at contributing to translations for Fedora since I primarily use Nynorsk on my machine, and that includes the Fedora installations I run. I'd like to increase the translation surface of the Nynorsk localization. While I have not been a contributor to Fedora before, I have been active in the OSS community broadly for a long time, off and on. I am a member of the Stylelint maintainer team, have several packages in the Node.js ecosystem that I maintain, and most recently have been behind Ordbok API ( ordbokapi.org), a public, free, and open source GraphQL API for data from the Norwegian dictionaries. I am also the developer and maintainer of the Discord bot powering language-related functions for the Norwegian Language Learning community (https://github.com/NLLCommunity). My main OS on my desktop machine is Windows but I use Fedora in WSL, my virtual machines, and on my work laptop. Fedora runs my home k8s cluster as well. I've used some private mailing lists a few times, but only a very long time ago. I'm familiar with Git and use it for my own projects as well as for work. I've worked with a variety of languages, frameworks, and runtimes across my time in my career. I currently use Node.js and TypeScript as my daily driver for most work both at work and for my personal projects, but I have used C#, Rust, C, Java, and a number of other languages in the past. Most of my personal communication with people is on Telegram, Discord for the Norwegian community I am a moderator in, though I have Signal and Matrix as well. For the most part aside from my involvement in the Norwegian community and my contributions to the OSS sphere, I tend to live pretty offline — so while I do have a Twitter, Bluesky, and a Mastodon account, I very rarely use them. I live a fairly busy life but was planning on kicking an infrequent hour or two here and there towards contributing some translations. My Fedora Account username is adaline, and I have signed the CLA.
