Contributing to Rocky as a Systems Engineer?

Hi all,

My name is DJ, I’m an out of work systems engineer with 11 years experience in the field. I’m pretty handy with Linux, python, powershell, Dart/Flutter as well as automation and integration work in general. In my most recent position I managed a fleet of 700+ RHEL 8.6 and 9 boxes with Ansible and satellite.

I’m posting on these forums because Linux has been a passion of mine since boyhood (starting with Ubuntu 7.04 on an old HP box meant for windows 2K!) and I want to find a way to give back / and increase my skills with Linux. I’ve migrated my entire homelab (from which I operate software I write, and various self-hosted services) to Rocky 9.6 across the board and am evaluating Rocky workstation for my desktop and Secondary PC so I’m in a pretty good position to be immersed in Rocky and spin up resources to test things out on x86. I also have a MacBook pro for Arm testing if that’s relevant.

Hopefully this provides the right amount of context with the ask and if anyone can help me understand what goes into contributing and how I might be able to use my skills to improve Rocky?
