Hi,

I am a PhD student in astronomy at the Université de Montréal, in Canada. I use Fedora as my main OS and use Python a lot for my research work. I am new to contributing to Fedora. I am interested in packaging Python packages that I use for my research that is not yet available. This includes data analysis packages, astronomy-focused packages, and also more specialized packages related to my field of study (exoplanets).

For now, I am still learning about packaging for Fedora. Looking forward to submit a first package.

Best,

Thomas Vandal

Hi Thomas, looking forward to see your contributions. Feel free to ask questions. It is nice to see people working on Scientific Computing contributing to Fedora. :-)

PS: Obligatory joke, a poor attempt at showing empathy to newcomers: the last time that I have studied Astronomy at University the number of known and confirmed exoplanets could be counted by hand. :-D :-)

Regards,
