Self-Introduction: Claire Mateus, French

Hey there!
I'm Claire, and I discovered Fedora about a year ago when I needed to
choose a Linux distribution for work. It was a bit challenging at first,
coming from Windows Subsystem for Linux, but the performance boost I
experienced in my daily tasks was truly remarkable. I initially studied
filmmaking, but I made the switch to become a software developer a year
ago. I can currently speak Spanish, French, and English fluently, and I'm
currently learning German, so I hope I can put these skills to use for a
great community.
I'm really passionate about making information accessible to as many people
as possible. I'm excited to start this project because I believe it's a
fantastic way to share information and get more involved in the future.

Self-Introduction: Dennis Koerner (bumblebeeman), German

About You:
Hi everyone :-),
I'm Dennis. The first time I came across Fedora was about 12 years ago,
when a good friend of mine showed me his installation. Back then I used
Linux distributions mainly to play around with small home servers and
such, but stupid me wasn't "brave enough" to daily drive the penguin on
his main hardware. However, I fortunately took the change to migrate a
few years ago after my previous OS crashed badly and settled on Fedora
after my distro hopping phase.
I have an IT background and I'm currently employed in the sw dev / sw
testing sphere. But beyond that, I'm also passionate about creating and
repairing stuff. Which is why I co-founded a Repair-Cafe and a FabLab in
my hometown, including actively working in their management / steering
committees at the time. Although I'm quite an introvert, I really like
to talk to people about my "passion projects" (e.g. about our FabLab at
Maker Faire) and doing other non-technical tasks. Speaking of
repairability, I also like to hang around in the Framework Laptop
community, discussing tech and helping others.
You and the Fedora Project:
I enjoy working on the german translations (dnf5 at the moment), and
already have some smaller wiki gardening tasks on my personal todo list
too. :-)
But I'm concentrating on on-boarding myself to L10N, further
familiarizing with the overall project (from a contribution
perspective), and getting involved. So, let's see what the future holds.
:-)
Speaking of wiki gardening... are we still supposed to use the
self-introduction template? ;-)
Best regards,
Dennis (he/his)

Hello, I'm Adaline!
by Adaline Simonian
Hello everyone
It's a pleasure to meet you all. My name is Adaline and my pronouns are
they/she in English, and hen/ho in Norwegian (hen/hun if you're writing in
Bokmål). My native languages are US English, Russian, and Western Armenian,
though I have largely forgotten Armenian as a result of not using it and my
Russian is a tad rusty.
I'm at a CEFR B2 level in Norwegian (according to my teachers, though I
also have planned to take the national language test when I visit the
country). I'm currently working on getting to a C-level. Nynorsk is the
language I use day in and day out on my computer whenever an application
supports it.
I decided to take a stab at contributing to translations for Fedora since I
primarily use Nynorsk on my machine, and that includes the Fedora
installations I run. I'd like to increase the translation surface of the
Nynorsk localization.
While I have not been a contributor to Fedora before, I have been active in
the OSS community broadly for a long time, off and on. I am a member of the
Stylelint maintainer team, have several packages in the Node.js ecosystem
that I maintain, and most recently have been behind Ordbok API (
ordbokapi.org), a public, free, and open source GraphQL API for data from
the Norwegian dictionaries. I am also the developer and maintainer of the
Discord bot powering language-related functions for the Norwegian Language
Learning community (https://github.com/NLLCommunity).
I am new to contributing translations and new to Weblate as well. I am most
interested in contributing translations that appear most prominently in the
desktop GUI experience on Workstation. However, admittedly, I may not know
the best places to start. I've gone through the very helpful documentation
for joining the internationalization effort, but admittedly it is also a
lot of information to take in. If anyone has any pointers, I would be more
than happy to hear them. :)
My Fedora Account username is adaline, and I have signed the CLA.
Mvh
