Hello Fedora Developers,
I'm an undergraduate biologist, and I've been using Linux 24/7 for four years. I've been involved with MesserLab's SLiM software project for half a year now, functioning as the volunteer package maintainer. I've created and maintained the Copr repository for SLiM for some months now.
In my own work, I use SLiM for population genetics simulations in my undergraduate research, and have used the software professionally (as a paid research assistant) for two years. I also use GNU R in my work, and I enjoy learning more about that language and frequently watch conference recordings (and download all the full-text PDFs I can).
I have not yet submitted my package to Bugzilla, as there is an outstanding binary file name conflict with Simple Login Manager (packed in Fedora's repos as `slim`). I have opened an issue with Ben Haller, the developer of Selection on Linked Mutations (SLiM), explaining the conflict and the solutions to it here: https://github.com/MesserLab/SLiM/issues/175.
We hope to have SLiM accepted into the Fedora Project's official software repository soon, and I hope that this email was a good self-introduction.
Very impressive. It looks like you're already a great open source contributor. We're looking forward to having you in Fedora.
Regards, Dominik
