(making Fedora a good platform for digital DJing) In the past I've worked on getting as many packages as possible from planet ccrma into Fedora to make it a better audio production platform. I've stopped half way through because of lack of time though :| I'm a sponsor and I would be happy to sponsor you. But first I would like to see slightly more of your packaging skills / understanding of the Fedora packaging guidelines (I already took a quick look at your xwax package). There are 2 ways to show your package ninja skills, you can create 1 or 2 more packages (which I will then review together with pal), see here for a list of potential candidates: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/WishList If you would be interested in packaging up a game or 2 let me know and I'll update the Games SIG wishlist page, as I think that needs some love :) Also we can always use some more nice fonts in Fedora, see the fonts wishlist, and also: http://mairin.wordpress.com/category/unpackaged-font-of-the-week/ Or instead of doing some more packages, you could do some unofficial reviews, also described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group Regards, Hans -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
