Hi everyone,
My name is Rémi Verschelde (IRC nickname "Akien", FAS "akien"). I
just
joined this mailing list with the intent to become a Fedora packager.
I am already an experienced RPM packager [0] and developer (+ QA, bug
triage, a bit of everything) for the Mageia distribution, as well as a
developer for several free software projects (Godot Engine [1], Lugaru
[2], Jump 'n Bump [3], OpenDungeons [4], Minilens [5] and a few others
-- i.e. mostly games and game development software).
I would like to start by maintaining packages for my upstream projects
in Fedora (jumpnbump is being reviewed [6], I have a COPR for godot
[7]). As I package many libre games in Mageia [0], I would also gladly
maintain some of them in Fedora.
I am not a Fedora user (my main distribution being Mageia), but I am
involved in the Fedora Games SIG and Rust SIG. With the latter I try
to ensure that Rust packaging in Fedora and Mageia stays in sync (so
far mostly syncing Mageia with jistone's Fedora work, but by getting
involved upstream I try to bring an added value from the Mageia
world).
I still have some docs to read about becoming a Fedora packager, so
far I've experienced the policies mostly by discussing on IRC with
Neal Gompa.
Librement,
Rémi
