#511 Looking for a sponsor for joining the `packager` group
Closed: accepted 2 years ago by mcinglis. Opened 2 years ago by mcinglis.

Hello,

I’m looking to join the ranks of Fedora Packagers.

I’m a senior software engineer on the Amazon Linux team at AWS. I’m working on the infrastructure and tooling we use for AL packaging, and on maintenance of our user-space packages. I joined the AL team in Q3 2021 with much excitement for our direction regarding AL22 and Fedora collaboration, and am continuing to support that direction internally. I’ve been at Amazon since 2016, having worked in internal developer tools organization for the majority of that time, specifically on the massive internal build system and on enabling AWS deployments for Amazon’s developers. I have a website and a GitHub account, both gathering dust.

I've been, and hope to continue, contributing small fixes (src, pagure) for various packages that I've noticed while working on AL packaging, and in regular personal usage. Over time, I hope to do more.

Can someone please sponsor me into the packager group? This will let me chase up some outstanding PRs that I think are hanging on uploading new sources to the Lookaside Cache (1, 2), and will streamline future contributions I hope to make.

Thank you!


This is now done, you'll need to log out and log back into src.fedoraproject.org for it to take effect.

Thanks, Neal! I see that I'm now in the packager group, and I can confirm fedpkg upload and koji commands are now working for me. Exciting!
