Hello all,
It's been a while that I'm following the list and finally wanted to do a small self introduction.
I'm Federico, currently living nearby Munich and working at ESO (the European Southern Observatory), somehow split, although many topics overlap, between build systems and distribution management on one side, and real-time systems for the observatories we manage (the currently running VLT and the upcoming ELT).
My colleague Piotr introduced himself not long ago, mentioning also how we are moving to Fedora (with most of the current systems running on CentOS or similar, anyhow RPM based) and therefore our interest in contributing more actively to Fedora grew quite some.
I have quite some experience in packaging (and related topics such as crosscompilation) and did some small contributions with MRs for a few Fedora packages. I've some contributed as well in a series of other OSS projects (more embedded, build systems and ci/cd related topics). Till the damn CoVid situation started, I was quite a regular also at some OSS events, such as FOSDEM (and the usually related CentOS Dojo), OSS-eu and various DevOps/Jenkins events. So I have the feeling I may have seen or listened to some of the participants in the list also someplace there.
Coming back to packaging: I've moved in the last weeks a non-responsive maintaner ticket (https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2856) for a package (bumpversion) I made a PR and was hoping in case to jump in if noone is interested in maintaining it.
I've also opened, and looking for a sponsor, a ticket to add a new package to the distribution, the Robot framework for testing which we use extensively and find it may be interesting to others as well (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2087143). I have a couple other packages we use at ESO that would like in case to propose as new packages to Fedora (some work here: https://github.com/fedepell/rpms-specs/tree/master/python), but maybe one thing at a time!
Many thanks!
Federico
