> NEEDREVIEWs / Let's Meet @ DevConf or FOSDEM!

> Hello World!

> My name is Christian Glombek (or simply Chris :) and I'd like to join the
> Fedora Packagers Group. I'm currently a student of Electrical Engineering
> and Business Management at RWTH University in Aachen, Germany.
> My FAS and IRC handle is `lorbus` and on GitHub and Twitter I'm
> `LorbusChris`. I've been using Fedora for two or so years on my daily
> drivers, very much to my satisfaction.
> Fedora's focus on modern concepts, especially container technology, intrigues
> me. Its community to me has always seemed open, friendly, diverse and
> knowledgeable.
> I also feel that Fedora's sponsor Red Hat has established a symbiotic
> relationship with this community, transparently supporting a quite
> remarkable and rightfully successful business model.
> I feel passionate about Open Source Technology and would like to participate!

> Over the past few months I've been feeding my interests in some corners of
> the extended Fedora universe, mainly tinkering with RPM and Ansible Playbook
> Bundle (APB) packaging and also trying out custom Atomic/OSTree builds (love
> Atomic Workstation!).

> RPMs:

> NEEDSPONSOR
> I want to get some packages into Fedora proper and I need a sponsor for that!
> I'd also hugely appreciate (unofficial) reviews or any other feedback for the
> following packages:

> coturn-rpm:
> NEEDREVIEW
> BZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1491492
> COPR: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/lorbus/coturn/
> Repo: https://github.com/LorbusChris/coturn-rpm

> libreoffice-online-rpm:
> NEEDREVIEW (later, WIP)
> BZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1494915
> COPR: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/lorbus/libreoffice-online/
> Repo: https://github.com/LorbusChris/libreoffice-online-rpm
> Note:
> The frontend part of libreoffice-online, loleaflet, uses `npm install` during
> build (versioned with a npm-shrinkwrap file). From what I've read about
> packaging nodejs modules, I'll probably have to manually download and add
> all module sources to the rpm. WIP.

> rspamd-rpm:
> NEEDREVIEW (later, WIP)
> BZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1494914
> COPR: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/lorbus/rspamd/
> Repo: https://github.com/LorbusChris/rspamd-rpm
> Note:
> I'll have to gather some more info about bundled softwares, possibly split
> out some existing dep packages.

> ragel-rpm / colm-rpm:
> I also did some work updating the already-existing Ragel (dep of Rspamd) and
> Colm (dep of Ragel) rpms and was consequently asked by current repo
> maintainer Jason Taylor (jtaylor) to take over the position, which I'll
> gladly do once I've found a sponsor and get the privilege of joining the
> packagers' group!
> I'd like to try out Modularity packaging for Ragel as it has two release
> streams, stable and development, of which only the latter is in Fedora.
> (I made a ragel-compat rpm for the stable release stream, which can be found
> on COPR, but I believe Modularity's arbitrary branching would be a perfect
> fit here!)
> COPR ragel-compat:
> https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/lorbus/ragel-compat/

> APBs:

> I also like the idea of the Kubernetes Service Catalog, in conjunction with
> the Ansible Service Broker (and Ansible in general) and so I did some
> tinkering with Ansible Playbook Bundles, the packaging format for the
> Ansible Broker:

> awx-apb:
> Repo: https://github.com/LorbusChris/awx-apb
> Note:
> APB to broker (provision/deprovision) Ansible AWX.
> Can also be used as an alternative installer for AWX deployment on OpenShift.

> openshift-acme-installer:
> Repo: https://github.com/LorbusChris/openshift-acme-installer
> Note:
> Installer for https://github.com/tnozicka/openshift-acme
> Non-standard privilged (cluster-admin) APB, can be used as installer, not
> currently for brokering.

> Eventually, I'd like to see FreeIPA, Dovecot, Postfix, Rspamd, Clamd,
> NextCloud, LibreOffice Online, Prosody and Coturn all packaged for Fedora as
> RPM and Docker and for K8s Service Catalog as APB for use in a little pet
> project of mine:
> https://github.com/contor-cloud/contor (WIP)

> Expect to see me around on the IRC, too! I'll be saying hello in the relevant
> channels in the coming days.
> If you have any questions or maybe have a task for me at hand, please let me
> know!

> Attending Conferences

> In December I met up with Fedora Ambassador Till Maas (till) for tea here in
> Aachen and was given answers to lots of my questions regarding Fedora.
> Thanks again, Till!
> He also encouraged me to attend conferences, which is why I will be at:

> - DevConf.cz, Brno, Jan 26-28, that's this Weekend!
> - CentOS Dojo, Brussels, Feb 2
> - FOSDEM, Brussels, Feb 3
> - Config Management Camp, Gent, Feb 5-7

> I hope to meet some members of the community there in person! Please feel
> free to ping me if you're there! :)

> I'm looking forward to participating and contributing here!

> Best regards
> Christian Glombek
