Is someone willing to sponsor me into the `packager` group? I'd appreciate it!
(I was bouncing around the documentation for that, but it seems there's no formalized
process currently - sorry if I missed something)
I have two outstanding PRs that I think are hanging on uploading new sources to the
Lookaside Cache:
I've been, and hope to continue, contributing small fixes for various packages that
I've noticed while working on AL packaging, and in regular personal usage. Over time,
I hope to do more.
Cheers

Hi Fedora developers,
I’m looking to join your ranks 😊 I’ve made
https://pagure.io/user/mcinglis/requests?type=filed&status=all
https://src.fedoraproject.org/user/mcinglis/requests?type=filed&statu... PRs
already, and had mistakenly skipped this important step of introducing myself.
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
https://aws.amazon.com/linux/amazon-linux-2022/ 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.
Prior to Amazon, I’ve worked on software for solar power system logging and
control, and on CRUD web development projects. I studied software engineering
and mathematics at the University of Queensland for several years.
I’ve ran Fedora (Silverblue) as my daily driver on my laptop since at least
2011, though I experiment and dual boot various other distros on other machines
(big fan of Guix, Alpine and OpenBSD). Fedora’s always been my trusty
workhorse, though, and I’m ashamed that it’s taken me this long to start
contributing to the project that I’ve gotten so much value from. Better late
than never!
I live in Newcastle, WA, USA, and have lived in the Seattle area for the past
six years. I’m originally from Brisbane, Australia. I have a
http://minglis.id.au/ that’s been gathering dust, but am hoping to get around
to that soon. Outside of software which I read and nerd about perhaps too much,
I love going places and doing things with my family. I enjoy reading science
fiction and history. I am interested in futurism, space exploration and
human-scale urban design, and appreciate good coffee and dry wine.
Excited to get to work with you all,
Malcolm.
