Become the Fedora contributor

[yanteng si]

Dear Fedora Community

I am a contributor of the Loongson company and I am interested in becoming
a Fedora contributor.

My FAS name is siyanteng, I have two years of community development experience
in the linux kernel, during which I have submitted many patches; I have
tried lfs; I have also tried openwrt and buildroot; I have a little bit of
ability to port software to new architectures. I have about 5 hours a week
for community work.

I am interested in running linux distributions on the new instruction set
architecture. I have formed an Special interest group with three other
developers, Sun Haiyong, Wu Xiaotian, and Shi Pujin. We are going to port
Fedora for LoongArch, and Sun Haiyong has created
<https://github.com/fedora-remix- loongarch> . We now have LoongArch versions
of LiveCD for LXDE Desktop environment, LiveCD for Mate Desktop environment,
and LiveCD for WorkStation. Although there are more and more packages that
can be run on LoongArch, we are not sure what to do next. We seem to be missing
a mentor >_<.

The only thing we can think of right now is to add a LoongArch entry to the
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures under "Alternative
Architectures".
But when I try to edit the wiki, I am told: my account must have at least
one non cla* group to be able to login and edit. Could I get help here? :)

Sincerely,
Yanteng Si

Dear Yanteng,

Welcome to the community!

It's great to hear about loongarch. I think the best place to discuss
loongarch is the main community development mailing list:

https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[e-mail]/

That will be the starting point, and folks there will be able to discuss
what the next steps here would be to make loongarch a recognised
alternative architecture for the community.

We do have a "welcome to Fedora" system in place, but given that you
already have quite a bit of FOSS experience, I don't know if you need to
follow that. Just getting started with a discussion on the -devel list
would probably be a good enough starting point for you? Please let us
know what you think will be most helpful.
