Benvenute e benvenuti in Fedora!

Fedora is divided into a number of working areas. You can see our organization chart. We do everything from running servers and writing code to design and event management.

If you would like to be part of our community, you do not need to know everything or promise much. We want you to learn, connect and identify what you would like to become. We will not give you a job. We will help you find your way around the Fedora ecosystem to find a group or project that fits your skills.

You do not need to sign up to do this yourself. Feel free to join in on our Matrix Channel or our discussion forums. It is a good idea to read the docs (plus other places!) and have a good look around before contacting us.

As a newcomer to Fedora, all your access starts with an account. Sign up here. You will be asked for your name and a username. The name and username you put in may be public, but you can put in whatever you like. You can change your name later, but you cannot easily change your username.

It really helps us if you introduce yourself on Matrix or on the forums. We want to know who you are so we can work together better. Don’t be afraid of saying too much, if you like cooking or anime as well as Python and Inkscape many of us will too! A good working environment lets you talk about all the things that interest you (as long as it fits the code of conduct). Just don’t publish your home address or passwords!

Feel free to approach people in your areas of interest. We want to double the number of contributors we have, and we want to make sure Fedora has an active and engaging future. When approaching people, write as much as you can. Lay out neatly and succinctly and give as much information as you want to receive. People here like to read, and the more you tell us the more we can tell you.

Sarai 'Fedora' quando avrai trovato e dato il tuo primo contributo a un progetto o a un gruppo.

Once you have decided you would like to stick around, or would like a hand getting introduced, we can 'onboard' you. This means we will give you a little bit more access to systems and can introduce you to teams. The 'behind the scenes' process is detailed below, it’s up to you if you want to know how we do it.

To begin the onboarding, we need to know your username. All you have to do is

1) Login to Fedora Forge with your Fedora account once, and 2) Contattaci tramite Unisciti a Fedora su Matrix o sulla mailing list a cui puoi iscriverti

Ed è tutto! Ora sei uno di noi, per tutto il tempo che desideri.

Remember, there is no minimum commitment. Take the time to look around.

Quando un nuovo utente si unisce alla comunità Fedora, potrebbe non sapere cosa fare. Il Join SIG si propone di aiutare le persone a esplorare la comunità e a trovare il proprio ambito di interesse.

Seguiamo i seguenti passaggi con la nuova persona.

1) We label tickets. - Labels starting with "S:" track the status of the ticket from their perspective. - Labels starting with "C:" track the status of the ticket from the community’s perspective. - Labels starting with "I:" track their interests.

2) We ask $USER to subscribe to the Fedora Join mailing list. This is so people can interact via e-mail if they wish, and can stay informed on what happens in the community. The associated label is: S: Subscribed.

3) We open a new "Hello Fedora World" ticket for the new person. The associated label is: "S: Hello Fedora World".

4) We ask them to introduce themselves, preferably via the mailing list. The associated label is: "C: Introduction requested". When they have introduced themself, we mark the ticket with the "S: Introduced myself" label.

5) Every two weeks we check to see how the newcomer is doing. Each time we do so, we set a new label. At the first progress check, we will set the "C: Progress check 1" label. If we do not hear from them in approximately two weeks, we do a second progress check and set the "C: Progress check 2" label.

6) Some infrastructure in Fedora requires users to be part of a team or group on the Fedora Account System. We can give temporary membership to the "Fedora-Join" FAS group if a new user requires. This can be requested by setting the "C: Temporary membership needed" label, and grant the temporary membership.

7) When the newcomer feels that they no longer need our help or don’t have the time, we can close the ticket. If they decide to exit the Fedora community we will close the ticket with the label "S: User closed". They can re-engage with the community or re-open the ticket anytime.

8) As the newcomer learns about the community and ecosystem, they will hopefully find tasks and teams that interest them. When they have joined a team, they has become a contributing Fedora community member! We mark the ticket as "S: I am Fedora" to celebrate this.

9) We collect feedback from new community members at any time and at close of ticket. For this, we use the "S: Feedback".

10) If the user comments that they don’t have time to interact with the community, we can close the ticket. Let them know that they can have it reopened once they have some time to spare.
