Hi there,

My name is Roman Kennke, and I am about to build my first Fedora
package, and hope it can be accepted into the Fedora project (see
below).

Let me quickly introduce myself. I am currently a Software Engineer in
Red Hat's Java team, where I am (among other things) working on the
Thermostat project, a tool for monitoring Java VMs. I only joined Red
Hat quite recently (2 weeks ago). Before I was contracting for JP Morgan
in Geneva and building relatively boring banking software for a while
and before that I worked at Sun Microsystem's Java team, building some
Java Webstart APIs, working on the Java browser plugin, and many other
things. I am a long time FOSS contributor, I was actively working on GNU
Classpath, OpenJDK, I am the co-founder/-maintainer of Caciocavallo and
contributed smaller things to a number of other projects.

I am currently packaging the Mockito framework for Fedora. This is a
mocking framework for the Java platform. I've had good experience with
this in the past, and I would like to use it for Thermostat, and thought
it might be useful to have available in Fedora as well. This is my first
Fedora package, any help in getting this into shape would be greatly
appreciated. Please find the review request here:

Let me know what you think!

Cheers,
Roman
