Here is a short list of what I have done:
1. Registered an account on the Fedora Account System (FAS) a while ago.
2. Uploaded my public key on FAS.
3. Tried to clone the python-boto3 repo, because I would like to upgrade it to 1.3.0.
* Got access denied.
* It should be possible to clone and send pull-requests to the repo. (github-like)
4. Tried to send an e-mail to the owner of aws group, saying that I would like to send a pull-request, and asking if there is anything I needed to do.
5. Got a mail from someone saying I should join this list :-)
So my question now is how can I send this pull-request the easiest way? It is just a line change with version to 1.3.0!
I believe that if people easily could send patches, and it is easy to approve them, then it would improve Fedora :-)

Good morning Kjetil,
I also would like to contribute to Fedora.
The Fedora-join list does not get a lot of traffic.
If you already know a fedora contributor you should ask them to mentor you through the process to become a contributor. Without a mentor it is easy to stall.
Please try to journal your progress of becoming a contributor and post your progress so others might trace your progress.
Good luck and thank you for your efforts to improve fedora.
