I've been sitting silently in this mailing list for the past few weeks, but just this afternoon submitted my first package review request for pdfminer, a Python library for extracting plaintext, HTML, and images from a pdf file: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=823679
I learned the basics of writing a spec file a while back, but nothing really ever came of this as I couldn't find any software I was actually interested in packaging. That is, until recently, when I found myself using pdfminer in a small project (I'm primarily a Python programmer, though I mess around with lots of other languages). So then I saw it wasn't packaged in Fedora, and decided it would be a perfect first package for me.
I've used Fedora since 13/14, but again, only recently decided I wanted to become involved in development and packaging.
I am (obviously) looking for a sponsor to proceed further with Fedora packaging- as I said in the review ticket itself, I can start doing reviews of other people's packages soon as part of that process.
