Plese let me introduce myself

Hello, I am Nelson, living near Lisboa, Portugal. And that is exactly in this beautiful region called Comporta where I am, enjoying the summer environment while writing this introduction.

As a Python lover, I must confess that I only know Ubuntu in the context of yaml files for automated testing, however, I use Git with Bash commands on Windows which I could say is a good start :sweat_smile:

I found the group following a job application, so I would like to know more about the Ubuntu Community and contribute in the best way possible. I used to do it already in other open-source projects on GitHub so I wish I could contribute here with QA tests or even work on docs.

Any insights you believe can be good for me to start would be a good help.
Thank you very much

Hey @diogoconstantino :smiley:

Thank you, thank you very much for considering me for the challenge, I appreciate that and of course, I am interested :partying_face:

I could for example talk about Object-Oriented Programming in Python and its 4 pillars. Why did I choose this topic? Because it is a central topic that is traversal to pretty much everything we do in that language, from the simple assigned variable to the concepts of the different namespaces. It is cool :smiley:

However, we should discuss the possibilities for the event in Aveiro, once as a job seeker, I am struggling financially a little bit right now :sweat_smile:

Maybe we should talk in private. Can we?

Thank you very much once again Diogo

Hello Ubuntu Community!

My name is Eyvaz Alishov, and I’m excited to be a part of this amazing community. I’ve been working as a Full-Stack Developer and have about three years of experience in web development using technologies like JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and Next.js. I’m passionate about open-source software, and as a long-time user of Ubuntu, I’m eager to contribute, learn, and connect with others who share the same enthusiasm for technology.

Previously, I worked on various digital services, including building and deploying web applications on cloud platforms like AWS and Azure. I’m also keen on exploring Flutter for web and desktop development. Joining this forum, I look forward to deepening my knowledge of Ubuntu, collaborating with fellow developers, and supporting open-source initiatives.

If anyone has tips on how to get involved with Ubuntu’s open-source projects or where to start contributing, I’d love to hear them!

Thanks for welcoming me to the community—I’m looking forward to connecting with all of you!

Best regards,
Eyvaz
