Dear Sirs, I have filed a bug at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1202063 with hope that piece of sw introduced there will be useful for others too. According to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers I feel obliged to introduce myself in this mailing list too as I understand it might be possible for me to maintain my package under review for fedora linux too. In addition to having submitted a package on review I can also try helping in other packaging or QA functions that fedora linux project might have, if I can and if my time permits. The initial nudge to create the piece of sw under review was observation how regular internet users mis-use capabilities of open-source sw available: message exchange is very fundamental thing inside internet. Regardless of availability of flat address space and various security-related tools people often ask me to communicate through services that disregard the flat address space (by having for example client-server infrastructure) and make usage of privacy-related tools difficult. This attempt for fixing those problems is simplicity ; there is straightforward user-interface that, when used, will make use of server-less data-storage, server-less message exchange and normal library procedures for content encryption. In the past I have not, at least under my real name, contributed to popular open-source sw projects, I have been only using and developing on top of them. Before linux came into existence I was using minix on atari st. I started to use linux at kernel version 0.98, switched to commercial unixes between kernels 1.3-2.0 and started to regularly use again linux when kernel was 2.0. Some projects that I have made I have tried to share with community but found very little interest :) I earn my salary as sw developer, since year 1996 or something, and have previously been paid to contribute to projects related to industrial process control, mobile phone sw, embedded sw on small devices, many kind of web-services, other data-transmission related things and all this in every common platform, including open-source and commercial unixes. The programming languages I'm most comfortible with are C, C++, /bin/sh, java, tcl, c#, pl/sql but almost anything goes to small extent. The guide to writing introduction made a question "why should I be trusted" but I have no answer. Reputation grows with time. I have included link to SRPM with hope that someone will read through it and check that it will not attempt "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=4k" -equivalent on first run ; it should not. I'm from finland, some people involved in open-source scene might recognice me but I don't know. My understanding of of possibilities of internet is that we might promote equal opportunities by encouraging use of services that are not tightly in hands of one person or organization only ; Classified ads clearly falls into this category. Latest source code to Classified ads is at https://github.com/operatornormal/classified_ads and as user of Classified ads messaging system I understand that usage of unpopular messaging system contributes only to monologue so I invite everybody to immediately join the DHT of the system, my address inside Classified ads is 6AC2D159AB3A0B0F241DD6D12E4A1673588DD0E8. -- Antti Järvinen, Oulu, Finland -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: GnuPG v1 mQGiBDi9E/8RBACkxa+Ri4/HApuv5XmnATpnvDBu8qlAtOn55x4iiZ2xpb+EF/lG nQpv7qSffemUwe8bb8t7Ob8DbIXjdTqHfbUvjoYesZTSYf7qAaVVSnPJxaWHxxMC waVfQfE1FTsEjk1dS5m5nwwSmfQC12jeA0nDXDdfK2l3QJlEL7xXQgLhdwCglr6d wAQnOajIWJKS860lzCNI7nMD/R0aXHbOi8T5Ts+TQcS255EtC7sEVw4M7KJGwIql 6yG+y/x8NCx4o1F8N7LXNDscl0Cb3KmnTvsFqVmUiQTT8chdU7SZQB/88etRI+7c Sqh8D1xtCsCBLwLpxSA/61LEU/z/AguVsPMNSq52MD1bOgCakmbVNEca/Sn3ECsR bi8rA/4qps8gq4bos6OO0WPG8+q1xZ/DJaug63tZX2Db9vOGM5Gi2pCygyBm6+6l oOO5jm/U2qmZPhru91jPrNoldNpQWC0O4Pnq3frpk+la9v/jMDiaVTWXbVv9vMxz fi/UhRVcrlNQA82xyulKBuf8Hg/euLP/eCROko+vNvLlzXx98bQsQW50dGkgSsOk cnZpbmVuIDxhbnR0aS5qYXJ2aW5lbkBrYXRpc2thLm9yZz6IYgQTEQIAIgUCVPCy CAIbAwYLCQgHAwIGFQgCCQoLBBYCAwECHgECF4AACgkQUTdja+nNMWPmogCfXius pprwVtUq21yEUhd0Ot+M7p0An11nWVx29yu+gL23/MZd6bcMt5pPtExBbnR0aSBT LiBKYXJ2aW5lbiAoa2V5IHVzZWQgdG8gc2lnbiBzY2h0b25rKSA8c2NodG9uay5x dWVzdGlvbnNAa2F0aXNrYS5vcmc+iGAEExECACAFAkktrpECGwMGCwkIBwMCBBUC CAMEFgIDAQIeAQIXgAAKCRBRN2Nr6c0xY6LTAJ4i78CnleERb0qJi6P7rlvgj2Fh GQCfRN1cA6XVg9j945Ns4S1/Pr5baYG0KkFudHRpIFMuIErDpHJ2aW5lbiA8YW50 dGkuamFydmluZW5AaWtpLmZpPohgBBMRAgAgBQJGur+uAhsDBgsJCAcDAgQVAggD BBYCAwECHgECF4AACgkQUTdja+nNMWN2TgCdHt72WoZhvpaznnkie27SsPIUkCAA oIfURI+os/fjS5CI3RyVw57rmqlwtCNBbnR0aSBTLiBKYXJ2aW5lbiA8Y29zdGVs bG9AaWtpLmZpPohgBBMRAgAgBQJGur9vAhsDBgsJCAcDAgQVAggDBBYCAwECHgEC F4AACgkQUTdja+nNMWP0tQCeNACeSfqsEvS4b2dSUtC23EHngeQAoIVwMLdd0t7o jdb0CoVks+/vEdmftDZBbnR0aSBKw6RydmluZW4gPGNsYXNzaWZpZWQtYWRzLnF1 ZXN0aW9uc0BrYXRpc2thLm9yZz6IYgQTEQIAIgUCVPC+TAIbAwYLCQgHAwIGFQgC CQoLBBYCAwECHgECF4AACgkQUTdja+nNMWPHLQCfdgwq9WZB1235EVviw6PWd4Zg 4lQAn2OuoUIsYhGCbkwS9XHxsee/sBsPuQENBDi9FAoQBACSagC/GYSDmp1ydBGr VHlXUH6tknvkR4MsCZHh0cVlfvQsgWYOcrh0dmJ60t//ltywH7XgJsaFIPqMfLVD pvhEkw265f64eWCn5ErrEaDlUjb1NGxB2ETWEgaMnAI9nB+ctdMpeXxfmeb0OqU6 XULNCambTXgE3QD5NDXHCMYd8wADBQP+NXRwfywurfjD1Q7LjKIn+tmo5fNwT4jg Ugm1+qfrqpmjJ5+D9QLuVo+hxLA5oDIR11YqVPO99VUvLY2FcYHQdaplouE8NGku +TAAcJpWRFzvcy29QSJNO3mFIsKS5PE4dhdeh68YSXtGxXSMsrbaSKUDHgakP8x8 a4AeoUV8UGCIRgQYEQIABgUCOL0UCgAKCRBRN2Nr6c0xY5iTAJ4zEHsBUKEuqqMn njKTz8EtI1RR3QCfVnyjWKhzJ4StZt97JemMs6IrVQY= =29wo -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
