Hi, My name is Christopher Tubbs. I'm a long-time user of Fedora and Linux, and a big fan of free (as in speech) software. I love bigdata and scientific computing, and consider myself a seasoned Java developer and Maven user. I'm currently working on Apache Accumulo as my first package for Fedora (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ApacheAccumulo). I'm also an upstream developer for Accumulo project, which helps, because there's a lot of patches I need to make to get it to build with the dependency versions available in Fedora. I'm not yet in the package maintainers group, but my FAS account is ctubbsii and I'm seeking a mentor (preferably one familiar with the Hadoop ecosystem and Java packaging) to help me get all the kinks worked out of my package. I'm still very new to the whole packaging environment in Fedora, and trying to get a handle on understanding all the infrastructure at Fedora needed to get things done. I definitely need a mentor to help me understand the packaging process and tools in the Fedora infrastructure (cgit, bugzilla, koji, etc.). My draft packaging is not yet done, but in progress here: https://github.com/ctubbsii/accumulo-fedora (temporary) -- Christopher L Tubbs II http://gravatar.com/ctubbsii -- java-devel mailing list java-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/java-devel
