We're looking for Fedora contributors to share how they started collaborating in the project! Use #CommitHistory to talk about what your first contribution was and what it was like. Some stories will be put together into a Fedora Magazine article to be featured ahead of Flock (June 14-16)!

@fedora@fosstodon.org My first way of contributing to #Fedora happened over IRC. As I was trying to figure out how to do #Linux, I found others would ask the questions I asked before, so I could pass on what I just learned to them, and ended up sticking around more intentionally to help other users just as the community had helped me. #CommitHistory

@fedora@fosstodon.org Darned if I know. I know it predates Fedora, probably Red Hat Linux 5.2-ish? It would have had something to do with #MkLinux *Actual* Fedora contributions? Would have been indirectly via #Fuduntu, back around FC13-ish? In any case, a long time ago. And the memory isn't what it once was. #CommitHistory
