Here goes my introduction as a new (or aspiring) package maintainer for fedora. I have been using fedora as my daily driver OS for some years now (I think starting with f18 or f19). Also, I have been learning to build RPM packages for some time, too - some of you may be familiar with my elementary-stable/nightly and/or syncthing COPR repositories. And now I decided the time has come to begin submitting my elementary packages for review :) I am already in frequent contact with the upstream developers, who have - most of the time - been really helpful with fixing issues of portability and compatibility with fedora. My first review request can be found at [1]. To give some more background about myself: I am currently studying Computer Science and Chemistry at the University of Innsbruck / Austria (and yes, my native language is German). I have some experience writing C and Java code (mostly because of University courses) and have taught myself some Python, too. I am also currently undergoing the "functional programming treatment" (with OCaml). Probably the project that I am most proud of (aside from packaging / my COPR repositories) is a simple, configurable and modular build tool for automatically constructing RPM packages (written in python3): kentauros (you can find it on github) - but it is far from finished yet (although I am already heavily using it for stable and automagic nightly builds for my COPR repositories). I am really looking forward to contributing to fedora and to collaborating with the fedora community.
