Hi everyone,
my name is Aurelie and I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Italian but
I've been living in London for 5 years. I'm a Linux SysAdmin. I've
been using Linux since I was 17 (11 years professionally). I'm 38.
I've used several different distribution over the years, as all of us
I guess. But I'm kind of settle on Fedora now (it literally flies on
my Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition, I love it... :-) ) and I'm about to
Hello and welcome!
start in a new Job in a month time. This has given me time to focus
on
what I really like. And that's why I'm here writing this email to you.
I'd like to contribute and I think I might help with packages and
looking after the Fedora Infrastructure. That's also why I'm sending
this two both the mailing lists.
I'm reading and experimenting with the Fedora packaging system
(
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/html/...)
but I'm not sure where to start really. I'm keeping an eye on the
devel mailing list for package reviews as well, just to learn what
needs to be checked. I have no previous experience in packaging at
this level (I've built simple custom packages in the companies I've
worked for, but not at this level of expertise and complexity).
From a SysAdmin perspective I have 11 years of experience. In the last
5 years I've been working on RedHat 5/6/7. I have a really good
experience with RH Clusters too (cman, rgmanager, corosync, pacemaker,
etc...). Satellite 5/6, Katello, Spacewalk, IPA, Free IPA, LDAP,
GPFS/GFS2 and in general shared filesystems. I've been using Chef at a
good level in the last year and a half (VMware VM's deployment and
management, RH7 Clusters deployment). In the last month I've also
started learning Python and I love it. I hope to use it here and at
work as too really soon.
Here's my LinkedIn <
http://www.linkedin.com/in/deromedis> account if
you are curious. My nickname on Fedoraproject is "Aurelie". Public SSH
key and PGP Key are in my FAS account.
So ya, I'm keen to give my contribute and any suggestion/advice about
where to start and how would be much appreciated. I think I should be
able to dedicate 5/7 hours a week to this.
If you are more into coding, this might be good start:
https://fedoraproject.org/easyfix/
If you want focus more on the packaging, this migt be good start:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_maintainers_wishlist
But the best start might be to look at you favorite packages and submit
some fixes/updates into BZ for example. This might be the easier path to
become package maintainer:
