Self-Introduction: Christopher Engelhard

[Christopher Engelhard]

Hi all,
since I recently submitted my package for sshguard [1] for review [2], 
this is probably a good time to introduce myself (some of you might 
remember me from the packaging list). I'm also looking for a sponsor, 
assuming the package is positively reviewed.

I"m Christopher, 35yr old, from Germany originally but living in the 
Netherlands. I"m a scientist and write mostly octave & some python code 
for data analysis, so I'd consider myself more of a script-wrangler than 
a developer, but I follow - and occasionally submit patches to - a 
number of other open source projects, including sshguard.

About the package:
sshguard is a log-monitoring service that blocks brute-force attempts on 
common services, similar to fail2ban. It"s not as freely configurable as 
the latter, but supports most common services out of the box and 
requires little to no configuration. Additionally, it supports pretty 
much any blocking backend one might think of.

Best,
Christopher

Hi Christopher,

welcome to Fedora. sshguard review is more than enough for a first package,
quite a complicated beast. I'll sponsor you into the packager group.

Hi,
sorry for the late reply, I was away over the weekend. Thanks you for 
your trust, and again thanks to Michal Schorm, who was a big help during 
the review.
