Hello,

    My name is Sean Burke, but I also go by Seán de Búrca on some projects.
I have been a Linux user for a while now and started using Fedora a few
years ago. I have contributed to a number of FLOSS projects over the years,
though most of my work has been for the GNOME project in the form of
patches and translations. I also contribute data and code to MusicBrainz. I
believe strongly in the benefits of FLOSS and seek to improve it wherever I
am able.

    I am hoping to expand the selection of open fonts available in Fedora.
To this end, I've created a review request for the Junicode font family[1]
and have contacted several font authors about acquiring source for their
fonts (when the font is adequately licensed) or changing the license for
existing free fonts to meet Fedora licensing standards. In the long run, I
am sure I will encounter other packages I would like to see picked up in
Fedora's repos. To this end, I am seeking packager sponsorship and am
hoping to find someone willing to work with me toward this.
