Marching with Fedora (joining the Fedora Project)

by admin ·

About three weeks ago after a lot of thought, I decided to join the Fedora Project. Since then it’s been a slow start, as I wasn’t sure where I might fit in the project. That changed at the beginning of this week when I applied for and was excepted to the Bug Triage Team.

I thought bug triage would be the best place to start, and so far the choice seems the right one. Everyone has been friendly and helpful, explaining the procedures, walking through an example. A promising if slow start.

I’ll be posting regularly about my experiences as a new Fedora Project community member and at bug triage.
