(i don't see any of these posts thus far in 2020, so perhaps they've fallen out of vogue? i'm merely blindly complying with the instructions at [0]). hello there in RPM land! i'm a longtime linux user/developer. my first Linux install was RedHat 5.1 in the summer of 1998, and i've been Free ever since. i primarily run Debian and Arch these days, but do some RHEL work professionally, and am very interested in ensuring my software runs on rawhide and friends. my immediate motivation for joining the Fedora community is packaging up a recent library of mine, "notcurses", best summarized as a baby of ncurses and ffmpeg [1]. there's a demo here [2] that you might find entertaining. i've written a book which is available for purchase [3] or free download [4]. i've spoken with Mssr. David Cantrell, a fellow Yellow Jacket, and believe in him to have secured a sponsor. i'd then like to look into getting my disk-management tool "growlight" and perhaps my network security recon tool "omphalos" into rawhide. more than that, i hope to become more expert with this family of Linuxes. hack on! --nick [0] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers [1] https://nick-black.com/dankwiki/index.php/Notcurses [2] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-H1WkopWJNM&feature=youtu.be [3] https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086PNVNC9 [4] https://nick-black.com/htp-notcurses.pdf -- nick black -=- https://www.nick-black.com to make an apple pie from scratch, you need first invent a universe. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
