In my experience getting hosted on GNOME infrastructure isn't the most
important thing to get involved in the community. Instead, I think the best
thing to do is join the most popular IRC channels and mailing lists, and to
help out with an existing module. The newcomers guide [1] is a great way to
get started, if that's what you want to do.

Alternatively, if you'd like to talk about how to integrate Mycroft into
GNOME, it would be great to chat on #gnome-design. I'm sure we could come
up with some ideas for how to take your work further!

Mycroft GNOME Shell Extension & Request to join the community

[Rahul Mehra]

Hello community,

I recently released the Mycroft AI Gnome Shell Extension for the Gnome
Shell Desktop Environment. The shell extension is a front end to
Mycroft AI which can be described as an open source digital assistant
for the Linux platform. The gnome shell extension with Mycroft Core
provides users a number of intelligent skills which can be interacted
with via text and voice input. One of the main goals of my work on the
gnome shell extension is to get a smart open source digital assistant
like Mycroft to interact with the gnome desktop environment via voice
and/or a graphical interface, with a possibility of a deeper
integration with the desktop environment and other gnome applications
that are included with the desktop.

I am posting this email as I would like the Mycroft gnome shell
extension project to be a part of the gnome community and get a chance
to host my extension on gnome infrastructure. I have my repository for
the extension currently hosted on Github and it is also listed on the
gnome shell extensions website, where I am currently doing most of the
release work.  As I am quite new to the development process on the
Linux desktop environment I do not have a lot of experience on how to
go about joining the community and contributing to the gnome project.
I would like to request someone to please guide me with this process
of how my project and I can become a part of the community and with my
skill-sets be able to contribute to other gnome community projects.

The current hosted git repository can be found at:
https://github.com/lolstring/gnome-shell-extension-mycroft

The extension download link:
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1197/mycroft-assistant/

Thanking You
