Hi everyone,
You may have seen me by now in the mailing lists or on IRC. Let me
introduce myself. My name is Arthur Bols. I'm a Computer Science student
from Belgium with a strong interest in FOSS and Linux. In 2017 I joined
a student organization which strives to bring Computer Science and
technology closer to students from an Open Source vision and using Free
and Open Source Software. This pushed me on the path to using Linux as a
daily driver and becoming increasingly interested in the Linux and Open
Source community. After experimenting with many distributions, which I
had a variety of different problems with, I was looking for a
distribution which was stable, but offered up-to-date software. I
finally settled on Fedora 30+ which has suited me very well.
The past year, I've been using copr [0] to package missing or outdated
software for myself and others. As this is unofficial and apparently
people really use my packages, I would like to put my efforts in
improving the Fedora repositories and become a package maintainer. To
learn more about the packaging guidelines, I've been doing some
preliminary reviews [1], [2] and [3]. Although there are only 3 of them,
the reactions by other package maintainers helped me a lot.
I have submitted my first review request for Moolticute. Moolticute [4]
is a companion app to a Mooltipass device (a hardware password manager).
It allows interaction between the Mooltipass and your pc for inserting
passwords, managing the password database, and many more.
You can find the review request here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1974749
As this is my first package, I am looking for a sponsor. By becoming
sponsored, I also want to try to prevent QtPass from being retired. It
is currently orphaned and will be retired in 2 weeks. QtPass is a useful
tool and development is still ongoing. It would be sad to see it go.
I'm looking forward to collaborating with the Fedora community. If you
have any questions, feel free to reply on this email or you can find me
on IRC as principis.
Kind regards,
Arthur Bols
