Many long-time contributors continue to be around, lending expertise and mentoring. People who stay around the community and do good work get noticed! Many Fedorans get hired for jobs, based on their contributions, including being hired by Red Hat. Past Google Summer of Code students have been hired by Red Hat, for both full time jobs and internships. This is just an example of how the experience and reputation you build with the Fedora community can influential your career.
Being a long-standing community with many facets, we invite you to find many rewarding sub-projects to work on, across many interesting domains.
You should note that contributing to FOSS doesn't require you to have super programming skills- it isn't rocket science. You just need to be curious and interested enough. Through experimentation and with some help from us, you'll find your way around problems and figure things out!
