Hello KDE,=20
Thank you for the opportunity to join the KDE Promo team. I just got on mat=
rix as 'jdose' and reading the KDE Community Wiki saw this is how I do an i=
ntroduction.=20
I've been using computers 30+ years, starting way back with MS-DOS days. I'=
ve dabbled with Linux 20+/- years and went full time about 8 years ago. I w=
as a previous web developer, did a lot with WordPress, and stepped away as =
surveillance capitalism took over. I taught video production for 3 years, 1=
4 years ago, stepped away as subscription software models took control. I'm=
currently a remote scheduling manager who is staffing services for large c=
orporations, particularly big tech so I've had a lot of experience witnessi=
ng the direction the industry has moved.=20
I've slowly observed how much improvement the FOSS community has made as a =
whole and recently discovered KDENLive which inspired me to get involved he=
re. I am dedicating a lot of time to learn all the various opportunities de=
veloping and want to help support & promote the change we want to see makin=
g the world a better place with more freedom. Freedom I'm learning is a uni=
quely debated topic within the FOSS community and I'm still learning how to=
best navigate that philosophy in a sustainable sense. Please help me bette=
r understand the sensitivity of that topic and I welcome any feedback. My o=
verall interests are empowering the next generation to find this opportunit=
y and realize we all can 'do more things with less money' by making good ch=
oices. I've been very impressed with KDE's approach to lead and I'm excited=
for being here. Thank you for the opportunity to learn how to promote KDE.=
