I also go by Lost or LostMyPillow in most of cyberspace. I've self taught programming and IT since middle school, I’ve used Fedora sporadically during my distro-hopping days. I have set up a FreeIPA instance on Fedora Server for my former employer, but unfortunately it didn’t come with Traditional Chinese as an interface language (Simplified Chinese doesn’t make it better at all). Seeing as I’ve also immersed myself in the English language longer than I have been distro hopping, and graduated from Department of English in National Taipei University of Technology, I thought I contribute in FreeIPA’s Traditional Chinese translation efforts, which is on 0% progress, last I checked. You and the Fedora Project: In the future I’d also like to contribute to Fedora Workstation, or more likely Fedora Server, but seeing as I do not have any background in the lower level programming required, it’s still just a dream of mine. I do know Python, TS, Java, but I do know that’s not what Linux programming requires, so I’ll do translations for now.
