Nice to meet you. I'm a long time Fedora contributor, and since

Awesome! If you are at Summit I will look out for you.
Cool! (making Fedora a good platform for digital DJing) In the past
I've worked on getting as many packages as possible from planet ccrma
into Fedora to make it a better audio production platform. I've stopped
half way through because of lack of time though :|
I have played with their realtime kernel a tiny bit (just installed it).
I know what you mean on time though :-)
I'm a sponsor and I would be happy to sponsor you. But first I
would like
to see slightly more of your packaging skills / understanding of the
Fedora packaging guidelines (I already took a quick look
at your xwax package). There are 2 ways to show your package ninja
skills,
you can create 1 or 2 more packages (which I will then review together
with
pal), see here for a list of potential candidates:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/WishList
Ugh everything on that list that looked easy, or interesting either
was already done,
had no MakeFile/configure script, was incompatible with Fedora or
wouldn't build easily.
I have updated the wiki with the issues I ran into on six packages:
https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Package_maintainers_wishlist&...
If you would be interested in packaging up a game or 2 let me know
and
I'll
update the Games SIG wishlist page, as I think that needs some love :)
If you can add some on there that might be compatible with Fedora, and
have configure/MakeFiles I'd definitely be willing to take a shot.
Please update it, games are fun :-)
oh wait I see it has a lot of stuff already:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Games/WishList
I'll take a look.. this looks fun

Also we can always use some more nice fonts in Fedora, see the fonts
wishlist,
and also:
http://mairin.wordpress.com/category/unpackaged-font-of-the-week/
I may do this in the mean time because packaging fonts at first seems
like it should be easy *crosses fingers*
Or instead of doing some more packages, you could do some unofficial
reviews, also described here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group
maybe after I get another package review request up.
Thank you Hans for all the advice and info. I look forward to working
with you.
