Message-ID: <45f7db60812032130icff4f56n72c6dc030d2eb3ae@mail.gmail.com> Hi. I want to join/help fedora project in some way but I'm having some trouble to decide what to do. I've been thinking and reading about the different areas in fedora project but it didn't occur me anything. I'll give you some info about me so you can maybe give me some hints. I'm from Portugal and I'm studying Computer Science, currently on my 3rd year, I use linux for about 3-4 years and used quite a few distros like Slackware, Fedora, openSuSE, Ubuntu, LFS. I use linux as my main operating system and environment for all the programming I need. I can program on C language, C++, some XHTML and CSS and shell scripting. I love linux and Fedora and I'm always trying to learn as much as I can about it. It's one of my passions. I'd love to be a linux sysadmin one day. I've a little home server until that day comes. lol :p I already gave some support on #fedora channel too. I don't have much free time (I guess no one has) but I want to join a fedora team and help the fedora project. I would appreciate some input from you, mentors, so I can make a decision. What do you think that suits me better? What are the areas that currently need more help and more concretely in which way? How could I help right now? I already read the wiki about the different areas but I wasn't able to make a decision yet.

Hi Lionel, choose a area where you think you would have the maximum fun spending your free time. From what i can see, a good start for you can be the Groups: Documentation - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject Websites - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites Localization - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N BugZappers - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers if you have FOSS Software that you want to see in Fedora - start packaging it: PackageMaintainers - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers No matter what your decission is, talk to the Person you have listed on the Mentors Page for the certain Groups. If you want to discuss further topics find me on IRC kital@#fedora-admin.

Hello Lionel, I have a task which needs to be done to ensure quality packages from Fedora 10 and 11-devel: verify if all examples included in FEL packages are working. If it does not, only notify it to me. Will that be interesting for you ?

It might be a good starting point. So I should test the examples that are in the packages of the FEL LiveDVD, correct? I'll try to do it as soon as I can. Thanks to all mentors that replied to me. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If you have F-10, there is no need to download the livedvd. I would appreciate if you could install: - netgen - magic-doc - xcircuit - irsim - gnucap - toped - ngspice - alliance - gtkwave - ghdl - freehdl - qucs - octave-forge - qtoctave Then have a look at their respective /usr/share/doc Then try to run the examples. It would be nice to run "rpmlint" again for each. I would appreciate if you could tabulate all your difficulties or findings in the following table: Application | Version | Documentation defects | Examples defects | Other comments. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | Another idea would be having a look at opensuse, ubuntu and debian bugzilla/launchpad to see if they have open bugs about the above tools. Then point out if our fedora packages are subjected to those bugs. Unfortunately, these distributions don't send their patches to upstream. Once you are done, I'll contact every upstream to inform them about some eventual changes that need to be done.
