Hi,

My name is Maxim Burgerhout and I'd like to start contributing to
Fedora development by maintaining a couple of packages. I work as a
sysadmin / Linux consultant for my daytime job. Over the last couple
of years, I have mainly worked with Red Hat boxes. During several
training sessions I had at Red Hat over the past few years, I learned
to create RPM's (amongst other things, of course) and I maintain a
good number of them for internal use. Those are admittedly not build
by the Fedora Guidelines, but I did my best to follow them correctly.

I have created a couple of review requests already (linked below). I
have packaged a couple of programs to get Yubikey support into Fedora.
Yubikeys are fairly low-tech hardware tokens that generate one-time
passwords. There's a couple of programs in Fedora to deal with them
already: pam_yubico and ykclient. I have packaged a library and a
client tool to customize the AES key in the device.

As I am (or hope to be) a new packager, I will need sponsorship. I'll
be more than happy to answer any questions about myself or the
packages if this is required.

I apologize if it is not customary to send introductions to these lists.

My two review requests are at:
1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=557776
2. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=557794

Kind regards,

Maxim Burgerhout
