Subject: Self Introduction: Thanos Apostolou
Hi, my name is Thanos Apostolou and I am from Greece. I am studying Electrical and
Computer Engineering in the National Technical University of Athens.
My linux experience, so far, is this:
I was using Ubuntu since 2012 and I was active in the
askubuntu.com, where I was trying to
help people solving problems, while expanding my knowledge at the same time.
Then I moved to arch based distros at 2016 where I settled with Manjaro. I learned there
how to create PKGBUILDs.
I've been active on the Manjaro forum, I have been doing a few Pull Requests to
Manjaro Github Repositories in order to improve/update certain packages.
I also maintain the Manjaro Lxde Community Edition.
Recently I decided to move to Fedora as it feels more "Professional" and higher
quality distribution.
So, I believe that Fedora provides a better user experience.
Additionally, I will be able to improve my knowledge by learning Fedora's
infrastructure.
However Fedora doesn't have the AUR and it's missing a lot of packages that I
needed, so I learned how to create simple RPM packages and how to use COPR.
I've seen many users (especially youtubers) avoiding Fedora because of some missing
packages and because it's not so user friendly.
So, my goal is to contribute to Fedora by creating some simple packages which I've
seen many people ask for.
Because of my University's workload, I don't have much time in order to do more
complex tasks, so in the beginning I want to make packages for some themes and some simple
software (like compton).
When I get enough experience, in the future, I might get involved with some more difficult
tasks.
For start, I have created this Review Request for vertex-theme which works good with the
latest gtk versions and looks awesome with gtk Fedora spins:
