Hi ,

My name is Kushal Khandelwal , a third year undergraduate in Electronics and Instrumentation engineering.I am interested in being a part of the community and would like to work on the project " Setting up Gitlab for Fedora Hosted".

I have discussed about the idea with Vit Ondruch. After reading the conversations in the mailing list , I understand that the project requires a long term dedication to maintain the packages. I am self motivated to be part of the community and put in time to maintain the packages for a longer time. I think packaging all the ruby dependencies should be a big enough task and it would also add to the pool of packages for Fedora/EPEL.

I have started to learn how to do Packaging and would draft a proposal for community to review.

Thank you for the time.

Thanks and Regards

Additionally, as noted by Toshio, it's not simply getting things
packaged and past review, but also there needs to be folks willing to
maintain the packages longer term too.
