Hello everyone
This mail should serve as my self introduction to the devel community.
I am a (soon to be) computer science graduate, that has been working
in the Linux / open source world for about 6 years. I first started working
as a python developer in the GIS (geographic information system) domain.
After some time I also began to perform some system administration tasks.
And before I knew I started to do a bit of everything.
So to describe my current work, I do
- Python development
- System administration
- Kubernetes administration (or whatever you want to call it)
- A little bit of javascript
- Devops (Automatic deployments via CI / CD pipelines, mainly using
Gitlab CI)
Oh, I also picked up rust a couple years ago and have been using it for
Uni and
private projects.
Now the reason for why I want to get more involved in the Fedora package
maintainer community
is because I want to get a better understanding on how applications are
packaged and
distributed to end-users in a secure and stable manner.
And from my experience, the best way to learn, is to get your hands dirty.
Naturally, I also want to give back to the community, that has doing amazing
work at developing Fedora and keeping everything working, and I want to
become a part of it.
In the last week, I have been reading a lot of documentation on RPM
packaging
and I have created my first package. I am currently looking for a sponsor
to help me with my first package review:

This concludes my introduction and I hope this was not too much to read :D
Best wishes
