Lets > try to ease that :) Urm...this is maybe a bit longer than you had in mind? But you might like it: -------------------------- Welcome to the Fedora Project. Now that you've signed up for an account you're probably desperate to start contributing, and with that in mind we hope this e-mail might guide you in the right direction to make this process as easy as possible. Fedora is an exciting project with lots going on, and you can contribute in a huge number of ways, using all sorts of different skill sets. To find out about the different ways you can contribute to Fedora, you can visit our join page which provides more information about all the different roles we have available. http://fedoraproject.org/en/join-fedora If you already know how you want to contribute to Fedora, and have found the group already working in the area you're interested in, then there are a few more steps for you to get going. Foremost amongst these is to sign up for the team or project's mailing list that you're interested in - and if you're interested in more than one group's work, feel free to sign up for as many mailing lists as you like! This is because mailing lists are where the majority of work gets organised and tasks assigned, so to stay in the loop be sure to keep up with the messages. Once this is done, it's probably wise to send a short introduction to the list letting them know what experience you have and how you'd like to help. From here, existing members of the team will help you to find your feet as a Fedora contributor. And finally, from all of us here at the Fedora Project, we're looking forward to working with you! ---------------------- Best wishes, Jon -- fedora-docs-list mailing list fedora-docs-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-docs-list
