Hi people,
I can't decide which sector to choose to contibute to the project because I
am not sure where my skills apply. I am computer science student so I know
pretty well java, haskell and I consider my self to be experienced linux
user. I believe I can contribute to the bug triange or the quality
assurance.
Thanks,
Vasileios

Hi Vasileios,
Well, you have to decide for yourself where to start off. Look for the different places
where you can contribute and then decide where you would fit in best. If you want to move
in bug triage its a quite good option.
[1]http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA
[2]http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bugzilla
[3]http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
Have a look into them.
If you have more queries keep mailing to the mailing list and I'm sure some one will
have the answers. You can also use the IRC channels.

Consider me an end user. I have not generated a SSH key, as the method for so doing is not
well published. I can take text and use md5sum or sha?sum. Is that what it is about?
I wrote that to promote Fedora, we must promote it with applications for target groups.
Businesses would want libreoffice, would want an accounting package, perhaps a FOSS ERP
package or more. When businesses can get all this for free, they will be interested. But
with making that into a SPIN would be a great job and it will help better than with reams
of swag.
We must promote Fedora to the business world with business applications. Businesses have
bought desktops, but are not interested in spending money. They will not upgrade their
systems until they break, or until they are forced.

The end user is not expected to know this stuff. However, she/he is
expected to find out and learn(google mostly). It isn't possible for any
foss community to go out and educate people. FOSS is highly *highly*
based on self learning/teaching.

It's a good idea. We have the software in our repositories already.
However, you must understand that this is not the correct channel for
this discussion. It is important that you make the correct discussions
with the correct people. Also note that all our software is available
free of cost, and any one can make themselves a spin (many people
already do). If you're interested, please go ahead and take the
initiative.
We must promote Fedora to the business world with business
applications. Businesses have bought desktops, but are not interested
in spending money. They will not upgrade their systems until they
break, or until they are forced.
Unfortunately, I disagree. Fedora is a comparatively fast moving
operating system. Businesses do not use systems that need quick updates,
or version upgrades. Even when troubleshooting, we suggest that people
make use of rhel/centos/scientific linux for their servers and
businesses. Besides, there is no commercial support available for
Fedora. The community helps people, but it isn't commercial support like
RHEL provides.
Fedora is good as a personal desktop linux distribution, but that's all
I'd suggest personally.
