Hello Fedora Infrastructure Team,
My name is Jason Hall and I am excited to begin contributing to Fedora
Infrastructure.
My Matrix handle is: @jkhall81:fedora.im
About me:
I am a full-stack developer and systems engineer with experience in
automation, backend tooling, Linux servers, ETL pipelines, CI/CD, and
internal DevOps systems. I work daily with Python, Perl, Go, PHP,
JavaScript/TypeScript, SQL, REST APIs, Docker, and Ansible. I also actively
contribute to open-source projects, including Ansible (since October) and
Kubernetes (starting this month), and I’m excited to expand my
contributions into Fedora Infrastructure.
I'm particularly interested in contributing to Fedora's backend services,
automation, and Flask-based applications. Fedora Infra’s use of Ansible,
Python, and messaging systems aligns very closely with my professional
background.
Skills I bring:
• Python (Flask, scripting, automation)
• Perl (log processing, backend workflows)
• Go (tools, ETL pipelines)
• Linux administration (servers, logs, Asterisk/Vicidial infrastructure)
• Ansible automation
• CI/CD (GitHub Actions, Jenkins-style pipelines)
• SQL / reporting workflows
• API integrations
What I'd like to learn:
• Fedora Infrastructure architecture, messaging, and deployment flow
• How applications such as Bodhi, Pagure, and fedora-messaging are
developed and maintained
• How to contribute patches, triage issues, and assist with automation tasks
Areas I’d like to help:
• Fixing issues in Infra web applications (Flask/Python)
• Improving automation or scripts
• Working on beginner-friendly infra tasks
• Participating in the fi-apprentice process when appropriate
Any guidance on where to begin, which issues are suitable for newcomers, or
how best to get involved would be greatly appreciated. I’m eager to start
contributing right away.
Thank you for your time, and I look forward to working with the team.
