Hello fellow Fedora people,
Inspired by @msuchy's Flock 2016 presentation, I
would like to tackle one of the topics discussed there - The
discoverability of Fedora sponsors for newcomers.
Thanks for taking this on! :)
I have a website ready to be deployed. If you are interested in the
technical details, please see this RFE
https://pagure.io/packager-sponsors/issue/470
and also the code
https://github.com/FrostyX/fedora-sponsors
The page design is as simple as possible. You can see some screenshots
here.

Looks pretty cool. Not sure it would be something for the first cut, or
later, but it might be nice to have a way to list 'preferred' contact
method? This might be something we could add to the account system also
and you could just get it from there? (ie, IRC, Matrix, email, other)
A very important feature to me is grouping sponsors by their areas of
interests / expertise, and I would like to ask for your help in this
matter.
At this moment, I have manually defined areas such as Python, C/C++,
Haskell, Ruby, Functional programming, Web development, Modularity,
etc and manually assigned people to them (the small number, that I
personally know that do these kinds of things).
Do you have any idea if there is a way to generate such areas and tie
people to them based on some already existing information within the
Fedora infrastructure?
There are packager groups... could perhaps look at them and get sponsors
from them? ie, python-sig, graphics-sig, etc?
