First off, I want to say "thank you" for reaching out and asking :)
Signing the CoC isn't easy and ends up being quite the hurdle for new
folks who wish to get involved in the community. There have been
discussions about doing away with the whole GPG signing thing
entirely. Alas, it's not gone yet!

If no one chimes in for an appointment (I'm traveling this week and
won't be around much until next), you're welcome to drop by the
channels at any time and ask for some assistance. Even if it's often
quiet, there are usually folks lurking and someone may be able to
help.

And it's a few years old, but if you're more of a visual/video learner
this video may also help:

too, sometimes it helps me to read it and have it explained out loud
in a video :))
