Joining the Python Special Interest Group

If you're interested in helping with SIGs/Python, please complete the following steps to become a member.

Personal Information
Fedora is a very visible and transparent project, which means that its mailing lists are archived and mirrored in many places on the internet outside of our control. Please use caution when sharing personal information with Fedora on a mailing list, because it is not possible for us to remove any postings from the wider Internet universe after they are sent. For more details, please refer to Fedora's Privacy Policy.


Create an FAS account

In order to contribute to Fedora, you will need to create a FAS account and sign the Fedora Project Contributor Agreement, if you have not already. You can do this through the Fedora Account System.


Update your wiki homepage

Use your Account System to login and start adding content to your homepage.

If you are a new FAS member, you may not be able to edit wiki pages until you are CLA+1. If you are unable to edit wiki pages, please do this step after joining a group. More info
Use any of the Infobox or Infobox2 templates to record your Fedora coordinates.


Join the mailing list

To join the mailing list, you must subscribe on [1]. Our mailing list is a key part of how SIGs/Python communicates, and a lot of important news and discussion are shared through our mailing list.


Send a self-introduction

Send a self-introduction to the Python SIG mailing list explaining a bit about yourself. Are you new to contributing to Fedora? If so, tell us why you're interested in contributing or what interests you most. Already a contributor? Share what other areas of Fedora you are working in and your role in the Project.

In addition to this, tell us what areas of Python SIG you are most interested in contributing to and how WE can help YOU get started.


Join #fedora-python on IRC

Your next step should be to join the #fedora-python IRC channel on the FreeNode IRC network. A lot of our discussion and planning happens in real-time on IRC, and it's the best place to meet some of the team and get a view of what's happening in the group.


Get "Bootstrapped"!

Now you should begin working on earning the "Bootstrapped" badge series.

The list of Fedora badges identified in this Trac ticket will soon be incorporated as a series of badges to earn its own "Bootstrapped" badge. Earning these badges is an excellent way to get started and become familiar with some of the basics of contributing in Fedora.
