Hello, Fabio.
Welcome to Fedora community!

Here goes my introduction as a new (or aspiring) package maintainer
for fedora.
I have been using fedora as my daily driver OS for some years now (I
think starting with f18 or f19). Also, I have been learning to build
RPM packages for some time, too - some of you may be familiar with my
elementary-stable/nightly and/or syncthing COPR repositories.
And now I decided the time has come to begin submitting my elementary
packages for review :) I am already in frequent contact with the
upstream developers, who have - most of the time - been really helpful
with fixing issues of portability and compatibility with fedora.
Excellent! Having good relationship with our upstreams is invaluable
and - as you probably know - part of our core values.
My first review request can be found at [1].
Great, I'll take a look. Could you do some non-binding reviews
of other packages awaiting reviews in the meantime? Two should
be enough.
To give some more background about myself:
I am currently studying Computer Science and Chemistry at the
University of Innsbruck / Austria (and yes, my native language is
German). I have some experience writing C and Java code (mostly
because of University courses) and have taught myself some Python,
too. I am also currently undergoing the "functional programming
treatment" (with OCaml).
Excellent, we have a number of chemistry-related packages in Fedora
already, as well as quite a few maintainers in this area. You're welcome
to join the SciTech SIG:

Probably the project that I am most proud of (aside from packaging /
my COPR repositories) is a simple, configurable and modular build tool
for automatically constructing RPM packages (written in python3):
kentauros (you can find it on github) - but it is far from finished
yet (although I am already heavily using it for stable and automagic
nightly builds for my COPR repositories).
Cool!
Regards,
Dominik
