Self Introduction: Maíra Canal
by Maíra Canal
Hello,
I'm an undergrad student of Computer Engineering in Brazil. I use Fedora for about a year as my only OS and I love the philosophy (and the performance) of Fedora. Currently, I'm looking forward to being a part of the community and contributing by supporting packages and developing. I have already some experience contributing to the Linux kernel, but I would like to contribute to Fedora directly.
I'm looking for suggestions of applications to be packaged, so if you have any, I'm glad to know.
Looking forward to future cooperation,
Maíra

Hi all,
I am an employee of Red Hat, using Fedora as my main working environment.
I have tried various Linux distributions yet, even though I have never
contributed to any.
However, I have gained some experience in contributing to open-source
projects during my studies at university.
I will be maintaining some java database-related packages. And I have also
already
submitted my first package [1].
Looking forward to future cooperation,
Zuzana.

openswan/libreswan VPNs and NetworkManager
by Mattia Verga
I'm totally noob about VPNs and NetworkManager, so forgive me if I'm
writing something wrong.
I was trying to set up a VPN to my work company network. It seems I need
to use IPSec XAuth PSK, so I found some guide in internet that says to
set up a libreswan VPN.
I'm facing several problems, first of all I'm using Plasma KDE which
seems to not have a GUI for setup/editing libreswan VPNs. Plasma-nm only
has support for openswan. I've reported that upstream and downstream. So
I went setting up the VPN through nmcli: it doesn't work, but that's not
my point here.
I was wondering how both plasma-nm and nmcli allow to setup an openswan
VPN since openswan has been retired in Fedora many years ago... it also
seems to work (well, in some way, since the connection fails) even if
there's no NM plugin or openswan package installed.
How is it possible? Does NM bundles some openswan library itself? If so,
is it updated (latest Fedora openswan build was 8 years ago) or there
may be any security concern?
