Self-Introduction: Daniel Moerner

[Daniel Moerner]

Hi everyone,

My name is Daniel Moerner. I am interested in contributing to Fedora as
a package maintainer. My GPG key fingerprint is BBD6 4965 3FB1 47F3 C7CD
 0A30 CB3D 014E D7F1 B32A. I live in New Haven, CT, where I am a PhD
student in philosophy at Yale University.

My first Linux distribution was Fedora Core 1, and I've been using Linux
full-time since 2007. In my earlier years I contributed to Debian
development, focusing on tools for lightweight WMs (including pekwm,
tint2) and interpreters for functional programming languages (including
ypsilon, smlnj). I was a member of the debian-maintainers keyring from
2009-2010, before stepping down due to lack of time. I am a bit older
now, and I have the time and interest to commit to contributing to
Fedora, which I use on all of my machines.

I have two main areas I want to contribute to in Fedora. First, I am
still interested in functional programming, particularly in Standard ML.
Fedora's support for SML is currently a bit poor, and I hope to work to
improve it. Second, I am interested in games and game emulators,
building on Fedora's recent change in their policy on emulators. I have
already introduced myself to the Games SIG, and I don't want to repeat
too much here.[1] I will just say that I find game emulators fascinating
from both a technical and historical/archival perspective.

I also love documentation, especially man pages. (Who doesn't?) I view
writing manpages and submitting them upstream as part of my role as a
packager. I feel the same way about QA work; I recently wrote and
submitted a basic manpage upstream for a recent practice review I
completed.[2]

Recently, I've been spending more time in IRC under my handle, dmoerner.

Here is a link for my first review request, the Game Boy and Game Boy
Color emulator Gearboy, for which I need a sponsor:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1414087

I tried to include all the relevant information in the review request
for any potential sponsor.

I look forward to being involved in Fedora!

Best,
Daniel

Are you interested in comaintaining the polyml package?  Regards,

Hi Jerry,

Thanks for the welcome! If you're looking for comaintainers, I'd be
happy to comaintain it. I'll look into the open bug report when I get a
chance.

Sorry to drop out of sight so suddenly.  $DAYJOB got very demanding
all of a sudden.  I'll take a look at your comments on the sole open
polyml bug in a moment.  Do you still need a sponsor?  Regards,

No worries. Thanks for your reply to the polyml bug.

I do still need a sponsor. Thanks a lot for already taking a look at my
bug report. My apologies for the problem with the spec file link; I have
posted a working link to the spec file.
