I am new to Fedora. Even after using Arch for over a year

nice of you guys to host a how to write .spec file and how to do rpm
packaging class over IRC.
Multiple "how to make an rpm" workshops have already been held in the
past. Generally, we just walk through this wiki page:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package
The problem here is that each package uses a different build system, and
if upstream isn't following standards, you often need to patch the build
project files.
I suggest you follow the wiki page and attempt to build your package. If
you do get stuck, please head over to #fedora-india or #fedora-devel OR
#fedora-join on Freenode and we'll help you out.
Kushal Das is conducting dgplug summer training[1] and I am sure a
lot
of folks from there are going to be interested.
Sure. If you can collect a group of folks that would benefit from a
workshop, we can look at hosting another one. If they are all dgplug
folks, Kushal could take a quick one in person too - which will probably
be more beneficial.
I'd taken one recently. Logs are here:

Here's the link to Shakti's presentation on RPM packaging:
