Howdy For the past week I have been browsing the Fedora community in hopes of finding out more about the project. I am greatly interested in contributing to the project, but since this being my first open source project I am a little green on how to get things going. I would highly appreciate any guidance or suggestions anyone can provide. The first group I am attracted to is the Ambassadors group. With two years of practical technical support in my repertoire, I have gained the uncanny ability to convey technological based information to less than technologically based people. Additionally I have been familiarized with issue troubleshooting, tracking, and resolvent for both end users and intra-department complications. I have also worked on technological documentation aimed at both development issues and the 'lowest-common-denominator' issues. The second group I found interesting was the OS Development group. Although I am not strong in programming methods, and I am fluent in several languages including C/C++, Perl, Ruby, and PHP. I feel that my limited knowledge may not provide much in bleeding advances to the project, but I would be thrilled with minor details and support for more advanced projects. But most importantly, I am interested in the entire project no matter the aspect. I feel that open-source provides both the world and the contributor with wealth of great things. The technological community can only benefit from projects where advancement is more important than profit. Additionally the experience with the open source environment is something I am greatly interested in. Contribution to a large scale project can only help in advancing my skill set in the technological field. Again, I thank you for any support or guidance and look forward to hearing from you.
