Introduction

[Marco Sgobino]

Hello everyone! I'm Marco, a CS student from Italy. I am using fedora
since F29 and I've been active in the Telegram chat for a while. I
would really love to contribute in the Fedora Project, and in
particular by helping package maintainers do their job. For this
reason, I'm reading through the fantastic RPM packaging guide and
getting my hands dirty. My goal is to both help the Project and learn a
lot of stuff while doing it. Also, this community is fantastic and this
is a huge bonus for me.

My background is that of a linux-enthusiast CS student: I know how to
program (but I'm more of a junior dev), I am familiar with cli tools
and some scripting, I know the basic sysadmin stuff to avoid borking my
system in no time.

Speaking of missing packages, I would really like to start with a font
package I love but I cannot found in Fedora repos, iosevka; it looks
like there is a COPR repository but I wish it were in the official
repositories. I can say the same for starship prompt which has been
dropped a while ago, as soon as I become experienced I might maintain
it. Of course, It might be better for me to start simply helping an
existing maintainer while I learn the matter.

Ciao Marco! Welcome.
Do you already have a FAS [1] account? Did you login to pagure? [2]
We have a Welcome to Fedora workflow for newcomers [3], if you agree.
It is not mandatory, of course.
In the meanwhile, I suggest to lurk around in other communication
channels and to participate in discussion.fedoraproject.org

Ciao,

Thank you, Alessio.

I already have a FAS, and I logged in to pagure. Ankur Sinha already
welcomed me with a ticket
