It will be very good to have someone that packages enough fonts to identify common problems and suggest ways to help font upstreams produce something easily packaged. > I'm mostly clear on the technical details of making the packages, but > I'm unfamiliar with the whole process for getting the package approved > and whatnot.

The whole organisational part of getting a font in Fedora is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Font_package_lifecycle > Also, I'm on IRC a lot, is there an IRC channel where I could ask > questions specifically related to fonts-packaging? The canonical channel dedicated to FLOSS fonts on IRC is ##fonts on irc.freenode.net (multi-distro). You can also ask general fedora packaging questions on #fedora-devel. We have packagers on many different timezones, so depending on the hour there may be no one awake, or people just rising, or people finishing their night. Don't give up if you have no answer in the same hour :p PS: You should also take the time to read http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Shipping_fonts_in_Fedora_(FAQ) and skim the rest of the Fonts SIG wiki -- Nicolas Mailhot _______________________________________________ Fedora-fonts-list mailing list Fedora-fonts-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-list
