Hello everyone,

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers recommended to introduce myself so here it is.

My name is Ewoud Kohl van Wijngaarden (commonly known as ekohl) and I in my day job I work on the Foreman project[1]. Historically I've mostly been involved with the (Puppet-based) installer but over time I've also worked on most aspects of the project. Most notably I've also done quite a bit of the packaging[2].

Right now I want to become a Fedora maintainer to improve the state of the Puppet package and its dependencies. It's totally broken in Fedora 34 which is holding back my F33 -> F34 upgrade.

I've also contributed patches upstream and have a good working relationship with Puppet (formerly Puppetlabs).

As a start I've reviewed a PR to update Facter[3].

Something else I'd like to do is bring puppet-resource_api into Fedora. Right now it's only packaged for EPEL8[4] but we'd need it in Fedora too.

Once that's all done, I'd like to update Puppet itself from 5.5.20 (incompatible with Ruby 3) to 7.7.0. I have a patch ready, but need to fix it to also package the bundled modules.

So a concrete list of packages I'd be interested in keeping up to date:
* https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/facter
* https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/puppet
* https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rubygem-puppet-resource_api

Regards,
Ewoud Kohl van Wijngaarden
