Meeting Agenda Item: Introduction Laotze

[Nestor Laotze González de Abreu via infrastructure <infrastructure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey, I hope everything is going well.

Matrix: @laotze:fedora.im

I'm Laotze, a fresh computer engineering graduate. I briefly used Fedora 38 Workstation, since then my daily driver has been Fedora i3 spin. I'm an avid reader, and also like to write. I do have a personal blog, but I am also contemplating the idea of documenting my professional journey and thoughts. I speak Spanish natively, Portuguese, and my German is growing each day.

Tools, experience and what I'd like to learn

• Python (Django, Flask, SQLAlchemy, sockets, Pytest, unittest, Tkinter, os, PyInstaller)
• HTML, CSS, and _javascript_
• RESTful API
• PostgreSQL, SQLite
• Git
• Bash

I worked for my university in the IT department while I was getting my degree. At the time the ticketing system was paper based, so I decided to make my final year project based on that problematic. I developed a system called SISA using sockets library, tkinter for GUI, PostgreSQL as database, and PyInstaller for the executables. Besides that project, I worked daily as IT. I've been sharpening my backend skills through two web applications, a blog and a prompting generator for writing.

I don't have a specific area I'd like to get involved in. I feel I still have a lot of things to learn about, later something may catch my eye.

Goals

• Be part of and contribute to Fedora's community.

• Familiarize myself with the workflow of Infrastructure. I have no idea where I could help, it feels a bit daunting. I have been reading the tickets, the map of critical services, about each app, and I'm yet to read the sysadmin and developer guide. So I believe familiarizing myself with the workflow would make contributing easier.

• Learn as much as I can. I believe one can achieve a great deal independently. However, it is through community that we truly get to grow as people and professionals, sharing experiences, knowledge, and opinions.

Initial Questions

• What things can I do to know how the team works? Besides reading the docs and attending the meetings
• Is there anything would you recommend learning to facilitate participation in Infrastructure? Be it tools, concepts, or anything that comes to mind
• What advice would you give? You could answer this in a professional or personal way. I see it as a way to get to know you better and share wisdom

I wasn't sure if I was expected to talk more personally about myself. I'd be more than happy to answer any questions through email or a DM on Matrix. Thank you for your time, and I'm looking forward to working with everyone.

Laotze de Abreu
