Packaging walk-through for new contributors

[Rahul Sundaram]

Hi,

Thanks for all participating in the IRC session on packaging yesterday. 
I am thinking of doing a packaging walk through with new contributor(s)
on coming Sunday on our regular timing at 6:30 PM.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/India/Meetings

At the end of the session, you will have a package (that is not in the 
repository yet) that you can submit for review.  Ankur? and others, if 
anyone is a completely new contributor and want to sign up to be a 
package maintainer and developer in Fedora, let me know.

Basic reading material:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/CreatingPackageHowTo
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines

I'd sign up as soon as I can. :-)


A query :: Does packaging need knowledge of programming languages ? I've just entered
3rd sem at College and we havent been taught much. Am teaching myself C but that will take
a week atleast before I know anything substantial.


regards,


Ankur

Programming knowledge is certainly useful but not mandatory. There are 
people involved in packaging fonts, documentation, artwork etc which 
requires no programming skills at all.

Hey Rahul, I'm in but lately I have been bogged down by a lot of work. I
want to do it, but bumping in some time constraints. Still, I'll try.
Cheers!
