[Fedora-join] An Introduction
Hello everyone, I'm Soumya (@skeptronus, He/Him), presently living in Kolkata, India
and I'm currently pursuing a Masters degree in Chemistry. Among other things I have a
keen interest in programming and I'm a strong believer of the Free- and Open-Source
Philosophy, and looking to serve the community.
I know Python, some C and Bash scripting and I have a moderate-level understanding of the
(GNU/)Linux OS. I consider myself a novice programmer though. I'm also interested in
networks, security and privacy-centric designs and tools for Open Science.
Its been over a year now since I have settled on Fedora as the distro of my choice after
some heavy distro-hopping, and I'm very satisfied with the experience.
I have not actively contributed to any major FOSS projects yet (except occasionally
submitting bug reports and translations) and I have a fairly limited
knowledge of the software development process. Thus I'd like to start with something
simple, and I think packaging would be an easy task to learn.
Ankur Sinha has already opened a "Welcome to Fedora" ticket for me and I've
gone through the links mentioned there, and I think I'm ready to start.
I'm looking forward to have an exciting learning experience with the community and
I'm glad to get this opportunity to contribute to this awesome project.
Thank You.
Regards,
Soumya Patra
