self-introduction: Jamie Duncan

[Jamie Duncan]

Hi again, everyone. 

This whole process has been a pretty amazing learning experience for me. I'm not a developer by trade, but a sysadmin and reformed Liberal Arts major. Putting together everything that is needed to truly 'release' a piece of software was humbling and a lot of fun to do (at least in the micro instance that I've done it in). 

I documented it, a little bit, in a blog post at http://lostinopensource.wordpress.com/2014/07/10/and-you-think-the-code-is-the-hardest-part/ . 

Regarding Fedora, so far I have: 

Gotten approval for my small app - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1104746 

Participated as much as I was able to in a handful of package reviews: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1119095 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1104322 (learned a little here) 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1114267 

There is also a request for me to become a co-maintainer for the sos project. 

My next step is to create the SCM requests. 

All of this to say politely that I'm fishing around for a sponsor to be added to the packaging group. My daily work is on the enterprise side of life and I don't seem to have daily interaction with anybody who is able to be a package sponsor. 

So if there's anybody out there willing to take a chance on a python fanboy with dreams of the big leagues, I'd be most appreciative.

Hi, Everyone. 

My name is Jamie Duncan. I work in the Strategic Customer team at Red Hat. One of the big things that our more security-minded (and some of the vaguely paranoid) users ask for is an easier way to obfuscate data in an sosreport before they send it out to Red Hat Support. 

There have been several failed attempts at this over the years, and soscleaner ( https://github.com/jduncan-rva/soscleaner/ ) is another attempt at it. It's written pythong (2.x), and acts as a secondary tool to process sosreports after they have been created. After several talks with the sosreport developers and many talks with customers, this seems to be the work flow that they desire. 

I've submitted soscleaner to Fedora under https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1104746 and am looking for a sponsor. 

In my spare time I hang out in and around Richmond, VA and spend most of my non-working hours with my wife working on our old 1927 bungalow. 

Have a good day, everyone. 

Cheers,
