Self introduction

[Lorenzo Gil Sanchez]

Hi everybody,

my name is Lorenzo Gil Sanchez and I am trying to become a package
collection maintainer for Fedora. I'm following this guide
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers
which is helping me through the whole process.

I've been using Fedora as my desktop OS since Fedora Core 1. In fact I
used Redhat 8 and Redhat 9 before it transformed itself into Fedora
Core. That means I have plenty of experience using Fedora as a user.

I am a software developer focused on building Python web apps. Some
years ago I used to build GNOME apps with Python but my career has
steered into the web domain in the last 5 years. I've been building
rpm packages for my day to day work for the last year and a half since
we usually deploy our software into Redhat/CentOS servers.

I have small contributions to several open source projects but for me,
not being a Fedora contributor despite of the fact of using it for
such a long time, was really an itch to scratch. Now that I have a
little bit of experience with RPM and with Python I'd like to help
packaging and maintaining python packages for Fedora.

I've already submitted two of them:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=866130
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=864464

and talked to Matthias Runge to help me with sponsorship.

I hope I can give something back to this project that has given me so much.

Best regards,

Lorenzo
