Hi Petr,

It is precisely the security information that I am seeking access to. My job depends on it.

I have already done everything in [0]. In some cases more than once. And we are talking over the period of many months. So let me ask this in return: what is the process once someone has done everything in [0]? The only place that I can have any dialog is this mailing list or #fedora-python. Application to the FAS group is a one time, one way thing. Application to the python-sig mailing list is a one way thing. A human on the other end must make some action to move the process forward.

Out of frustration, I emailed tomspur recently, as he is listed as the main contact for python-sig group in FAS. Other than a response from him, I have not heard anything else. I can understand that it is summer and people have holidays and it has not been that long yet.

But I must reiterate that this process has been going on for months from my side. Fedora already has a problem of perception of being too Red Hat insider in some circles. My observation has been that Red Hat employees have been gently reminded on #fedora-python that they need to apply to python-sig. I am assuming they have been successful. Meanwhile, I wait for action on the part of a member of python-sig.

That action could be as simple as, "we don't know you, could you please submit a python package for review so we can start to get to know you?". But that still requires action on the part of a member of python-sig.

I can tell you that the response from the perl-sig community was much more inviting.

Cheers.

Hello Tim! Welcome to python-devel, and sorry for us being so quiet.

Is there anything in particular you're pinging about?

If want to access the python-sig FAS group, note that an introduction here is just a part of the process [0]. However, that list is mostly used to get notifications about bugs in various Python packages (so it might not be for you), and it gets security-related information (so not everyone who applies is accepted, but I don't know the details there). For general discussions there is this list, so you can already participate.
