Hello! My name is Paolo, I am a Colombian backend software developer with a few years of experience, and I want to contribute to opensource not only to improve my skills but to do something that matters and impact people.
My welcome issue: https://pagure.io/fedora-join/WelcomeToFedora/issue/120 Matrix user: @paolinsky:fedora.im My current relevant skills: - Python for backend development, using fastapi and flask. I know how to use common tools like ORMs, logging, and package managers like pdm. - Sveltekit using typescript - Basic sys admin knowledge (I know how to setup a linux server, configure a few docker containers and monitor it) - Project management. The company where I work at is quite small, and I take responsibility on managing the company projects using agile development, specifically scrumban and kanban - Object oriented design. I developed android and iOS native applications, and also some kotlin backend applications, I understand and actually like working with object oriented languages on large applications. Skills I want to improve: - Kubernetes and OpenShift - Linux systems administration - Python best practices and standards. - General workflow for larger applications with larger teams. I'm open to contribute to most types of tasks related to the fedora project, and the infrastructure team seems like a good fit for me, I am really excited to start working! I mentioned on my welcome issue I will be available for at least 4 hours a week. but after reading a little bit more in the documentation and observing what happens on the infra matrix channel I guess that might be to little time. So I will try to do at least 7 hours a week and see how it fits with my schedule. Some questions I have: - How can I find good starting issues for me? - What should I do during my first weeks as a contributor? My understanding is that I will be an apprentice with read only access to some machines, does that means I will be mostly working on reproducing issues on my local environment and submitting merge requests with fixes? - Who or where can I ask for help when I need it? Is it ok to ask directly on the infra channel? or should I go to the general development matrix channel? Thanks for your attention and see you on Thursday meeting :D -- _______________________________________________ infrastructure mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] 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/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
