I was a Fedora Project contributor a few years back. I would love to join back and contribute to the team. When I first started many years back, I was new to everything tech. Coming from a biology background, Fedora helped me lay a good foundation to my tech journey. I was part of the DEI team back then.
I am currently working as a community engagement manager and I would love to come back and join the Fedora community. I want to give back and support the project in anyway I can.
I have experience working as a doc open source community manager for the GitHub docs team, and currently working at a company as a sr community manager. However, my love for open source communities is always live and that has pulled me back to this community.
I love numbers, so I would love to work on metrics and data analysis. I am also interesting in anything that has to do with creating a safe, healthy and thriving community. I also would love to learn from others in this team. One amazing thing about open source communities: there is so much knowledge and expertise out here. And everyone is always willing to help and be kind. It would be such a shame to not expand my knowledge while supporting the community. I am an avid learner and ardent explorer of knowledge.
Looking forward to being part of this amazing team!
Welcome back Ramya,
We still need help in DEI, and there is a new data group that has recently been formed.
Come and find the teams on Matrix, we can chat in dei or join room.
@ramyaparimi, OMG!! It is so nice to see your name back in Fedora. Welcome back!
I’m glad your past Fedora experience helped you get a foothold in the tech world.
Sounds like you will want to check out what is happening in the Data WG. @mwinters and @rwright are two people you should definitely find in Matrix and say hello.
I’m a newcomer to Fedora, having only been around for about 8 months, but I’ve been pretty exclusively working on data engineering to enable community health analytics and data science. We’re trying to get to the point that we can understand basics like:
How many active contributors do we have? And in what capacities?
Which paths are most successful for newcomers?
Of those who try to join and fail or leave, why is that?
Which avenues do newcomers prefer? (Discourse? Matrix? Something else?)
Which software projects have gone stale or are being held together by a single heroic contributor?
Such amazing stuff. I went through your page showing the high level diagram and the end goal. Very excited about the project.
However I have to be honest, I am not experienced data engineer at all. But would love to learn the new things. At least the basics. I do have a little experience working with Jupyter note books.
