Hi Everyone

I just submitted my first package review request and as requested, its now time for the self introduction.

I vaguely remember first discovering GNU Linux (Red Hat Linux 6, back in the late 90's) and have been a convert ever since.  I cut my teeth packaging rpms on Mandrake base systems back in the day and ended up being a package maintainer (kernel + other bits'n pieces) for PCLinuxOS (2005 - 2007) and Unity Linux (2009-2010). Sometime after this I switched 'back' to using Fedora and went on a packaging hiatus for many years, until that is, someone told me to go buy a Raspberry Pi. For the past few years (2015 - present) in my spare time, I have been maintaining the Fedora Remix 'Fedberry' (fedberry.org).

With every release, Fedora's RPi support continues to improve and the Fedberry remix is becoming increasingly irrelevant. As a result, I will eventually pull the plug on the remix (not sure when yet). However, I will still want to be contributing to an opensource project/community so getting involved with Fedora development now seems like an obvious next step for me. Hopefully, some of my previous packing experience maybe of some use to the project.

My initial package submission is WiringPi - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1577011


Cheers!

Vaughan
