Remember that this is not a job interview at all. This is just an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icebreaker_(facilitation) icebreaker] to help all your new friends get to know you quicker. The better we know you, the better we can support you in identifying Fedora activities that promise to be relevant for you.


The reason we invite you to address these prompts is we like to get to know you better. If you don't know what git, rpm, etc are, that's fine. If you aren't online on a daily basis, it's fine too. So, this is not a job interview or a resume; please consider the introduction a friendly and constructive opener for a conversation between us, so we can support you in identifying Fedora activities that promise to be relevant for you.
Please write how much/whatever you wish. :).

Revision as of 17:12, 20 January 2022

When you're comfortable enough, please introduce yourself here so the community can get to know you better. Some information to understand your requirements better would also be most useful. For example:

  • your experience with Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) communities/ecosystems:
    • have you participated in FOSS before, or is this the first time?
    • how do you imagine your place in a FOSS community?
  • your background/skills, for example:
    • community development and outreach
    • Operating System (Do you use GNU/Linux as your main OS? Is Fedora Linux your main distribution?)
    • non-software development: design (Inkscape/Gimp/?), music/video/podcasting, marketing, language proficiency
    • software development related: command line, version control: git/hg/svn/?, rpm/packaging, programming languages/frameworks/utilities, testing, infrastructure/sysadmin
  • your experience in communication platforms:
    • have you used mailing lists before?
    • what is your preferred real time chat platform?
    • have you helped with moderating/administering forums?
  • how much time are you looking to/are you able to spend on volunteering (approximate hours per week)?

Remember that this is not a job interview at all. This is just an icebreaker to help all your new friends get to know you quicker. The better we know you, the better we can support you in identifying Fedora activities that promise to be relevant for you.

Please write how much/whatever you wish.  :).
