Hi,
are you already a packager? The work is mostly updating packages,
besides that one important part is the theming of LXQt (usage of Fedora
wallpaper etc.) and finally maintaining the live spin. Packaging is the
most important topic.
Greetings,
Christian

Hi all,
as some of you might have recognized, Fedora's LXQt is quite
outdated (we have 0.11, current one for some weeks now is 0.13)
and also needs some rework with respect to theming and the package
set (upstream restructured packaging a bit with respect to common
files). When I joined the Fedora LXQt effort, my job was the
creation of the spin while other maintainers took care of most
packages. Unfortunately the core packager left Fedora. I did the
whole update once, but at that time it was mostly just about
bumping the version and rediffing the patches. Also I had much
more free time at that point.
As I recognized that I also really need more time for work on my
PhD stuff, I decided to resign from work on Fedora LXQt. Of course
I will continue my work on Fedora's scientific packages including
the Astronomy Lab, which is closely linked with my PhD stuff. Also
my other contributions like acting as an ambassador will continue
as before, so it is "just" about LXQt.
If you're interested in picking Fedora LXQt up, let me know. Then
I'll also give initial assistance of course. I already started
some work on the update some weeks ago in copr
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/lupinix/LXQt-0.13/
<
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/lupinix/LXQt-0.13/> and
https://pagure.io/lxqt-testing-copr
<
https://pagure.io/lxqt-testing-copr> This is missing the rework
on themes etc., and I did not check all of the older patches. My
intention of that move now is, that there should be still enough
time for new maintainers to get everything up to date again for
Fedora 29. Or (hopefully not :( ) to remove it if necessary.
Greetings,
Christian
