Dear Fedora Community, since I want to contribute to Fedora to make better and to become a member of the packager-group, I'm going to introduce myself here a bit. I am Björn Esser and I live in Hildesheim, Germany. That's about 30 km (20 mi) south of Hannover. I'm just an ordinary guy using Linux about seven years. Since then I used Ubuntu, openSuse, Debian and now Fedora (since F17). My FAS-name ist besser82. When I was using openSuse, I found a nifty piece of software called 'libyui' which is a GUI-abstaction library. That opens the possibilty to write applications using ncurses, gtk and qt without demanding to use a specific one of them and just needing one piece of code. It also feature bindings to perl, python and ruby. And so I want to bring it into Fedora. I am in very good, continuos contact to upstream and have membership in openSuse's libyui [1] and YaST [2] organisations on github. Thanks to this I'm able to deal with possible bugs in short-time. I've prepared rpms forlibyui and it's UI-plugins for review. [3-7] The rpms for the bindings are WIP. I am quite new to writing rpm-specs and packaging for Fedora so the packages might not be perfect. I did my best to obey the packaging-guidelines from the wiki and I am willing to learn. I hope to find someone here who'd like to sponsor me and my packages.
