Kia ora to you, and welcome to Fedora!

I hope you find something interesting to contribute in.

Kia ora koutou,

I'm nedia, I live in NZ & I've been knocking about the matrix/irc for a few days now. I'll be 28 on the 30th, I've been using Fedora for about a year, Linux for about 3-4 (Ubuntu & Antergos), & have been doing software dev for about 5-6 years.

I started my career w/ Java, then spent some time w/ PHP on some legacy spaghetti, wrote a cool CLI that interfaced w/ AWS EC2 instances to run data conversions and had a lot of fun with it, and I've dabbled in some Rust, C#, Python and more JavaScript than I'd like to admit. Keen to write something in Go one day.

I could potentially spend a lot of time on Fedora related projects, my weekends are v open & I give the Whakaoranga Whanau about 24 hours a week. I have tourettes so sometimes I need days to myself to recoup mentally.

I'm currently using Silverblue, I'm enamored by the ideas - immutability is huge to me now. I get anxiety whenever I use another distro, knowing one false step might lead to a re-install. I'm a tinkerer so it happens a fair bit.

I'm also running Rawhide, since Silverblue affords me an extra layer of security, it seemed like it was the perfect fit for running some potentially unstable software.

An area that seems like it could use some work from what I've observed is `rpm-ostree`, being able to upgrade packages for testing e.g. `sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing --advisory=FEDORA-2021-992e409289` & group installs are missing at the moment. I wanted to be able to run a 2nd DE in case of bugs, but would have to install each package individually as it stands so I settle for just rebasing when the time comes. Is `rpm-ostree module` intended to be the new `group`?

Anyway, v interested in Silverblue and putting myself in a position to test & contribute to the above, so if anybody would like to sponsor / point me in the right direction, that would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
*nedia*
