Hi everyone, My name is Daniel Moerner. I am interested in contributing to Fedora as a package maintainer. My GPG key fingerprint is BBD6 4965 3FB1 47F3 C7CD 0A30 CB3D 014E D7F1 B32A. I live in New Haven, CT, where I am a PhD student in philosophy at Yale University. My first Linux distribution was Fedora Core 1, and I've been using Linux full-time since 2007. In my earlier years I contributed to Debian development, focusing on tools for lightweight WMs (including pekwm, tint2) and interpreters for functional programming languages (including ypsilon, smlnj). I was a member of the debian-maintainers keyring from 2009-2010, before stepping down due to lack of time. I am a bit older now, and I have the time and interest to commit to contributing to Fedora, which I use on all of my machines. I have two main areas I want to contribute to in Fedora. First, I am still interested in functional programming, particularly in Standard ML. Fedora's support for SML is currently a bit poor, and I hope to work to improve it. Second, I am interested in games and game emulators, building on Fedora's recent change in their policy on emulators. I have already introduced myself to the Games SIG, and I don't want to repeat too much here.[1] I will just say that I find game emulators fascinating from both a technical and historical/archival perspective. I also love documentation, especially man pages. (Who doesn't?) I view writing manpages and submitting them upstream as part of my role as a packager. I feel the same way about QA work; I recently wrote and submitted a basic manpage upstream for a recent practice review I completed.[2] Recently, I've been spending more time in IRC under my handle, dmoerner. Here is a link for my first review request, the Game Boy and Game Boy Color emulator Gearboy, for which I need a sponsor: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1414087 I tried to include all the relevant information in the review request for any potential sponsor. I look forward to being involved in Fedora! Best, Daniel [1] https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/games@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/thread/LPEW5CCGK6JRGDCV3CTRXGGDTAD2EHO5/ [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1410651#c1
