Introduction

Hi, I have been using Fedora for about two years and have been wanting to contribute for quite some time, but was always unsure how exactly could I help. I would like to program in Python and/or write articles for fedoramagazine.org. I am particularly interested in CommOps, since I'm passionate about data analysis and it is one of the rare projects that seems to use Python. Are there any other projects you recommend taking a look at? Regards, Sartre

Hello, We met briefly today for a quick status update w.r.t. the classroom sessions. Since Flock is on, and schools are re-opening etc., we've decided to delay the session schedule by 3 weeks - the sessions will resume on the week starting 18th September. We'll update the calendar etc. shortly too. In the meantime, please volunteer to instruct more sessions, and please convince others to instruct sessions too!

There's a wishlist here where one can add interesting packages, and if a maintainer is interested, they'd pick it up: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_maintainers_wishlist?rd=PackageMaint… In general, though, people maintain packages that they use themselves. That way, they have a vested interest in keeping their packages up to date, and functional in general. > > The package in question, PyKCS11, has equivalent packages already > available via pip and in Ubuntu and Debian.

Yea - it's hard for upstreams to maintain the source code and also keep packages in various downstream distributions up to date. This is where package maintainers come in: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Staying_close_to_upstream_projects > > I am happy to support the initial process of submitting this new > package.

As you've read on the wiki I'm sure, the initial packaging and review is only one part of the maintenance process. It's keeping the software up to date, fixing bugs or reporting them upstream, and making sure the software is functional in general that's the real task - i.e., the long term maintenance. I would suggest just going ahead and submitting the package for review yourself. This is another helpful wiki page that you must've come across: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha

It will clash with Flock, 2017. Can we reschedule this class, so that it does not clash with Flock. Thanks & Regards, Amita [1]. https://fedoramagazine.org/fedora-classroom-sessions/
