Subject: Self Introduction: Thanos Apostolou

Hi, my name is Thanos Apostolou and I am from Greece. I am studying Electrical and Computer Engineering in the National Technical University of Athens.



My linux experience, so far, is this:

I was using Ubuntu since 2012 and I was active in the askubuntu.com, where I was trying to help people solving problems, while expanding my knowledge at the same time.

Then I moved to arch based distros at 2016 where I settled with Manjaro. I learned there how to create PKGBUILDs.
I've been active on the Manjaro forum, I have been doing a few Pull Requests to Manjaro Github Repositories in order to improve/update certain packages.
I also maintain the Manjaro Lxde Community Edition.

Recently I decided to move to Fedora as it feels more "Professional" and higher quality distribution.
So, I believe that Fedora provides a better user experience.
Additionally, I will be able to improve my knowledge by learning Fedora's infrastructure.
However Fedora doesn't have the AUR and it's missing a lot of packages that I needed, so I learned how to create simple RPM packages and how to use COPR.



I've seen many users (especially youtubers) avoiding Fedora because of some missing packages and because it's not so user friendly.
So, my goal is to contribute to Fedora by creating some simple packages which I've seen many people ask for.
Because of my University's workload, I don't have much time in order to do more complex tasks, so in the beginning I want to make packages for some themes and some simple software (like compton).
When I get enough experience, in the future, I might get involved with some more difficult tasks.




For start, I have created this Review Request for vertex-theme which works good with the latest gtk versions and looks awesome with gtk Fedora spins: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1451298
