Self Introduction: Frédéric Pierret (fepitre)

Hi, My name is Frédéric and you can reach me on Github as "fepitre" (https://github.com/fepitre). I'm currently a member of Qubes OS (https://github.com/QubesOS) core team since 2016. In this project, my work consists in releasing (building, packaging, testing or continuous integration) the OS at every stages. Qubes OS has its dom0 based on a customized Fedora for embedding our custom Xen version and Qubes specific components. For example, our own Qubes specific libraries or tools, kernel or even custom Anaconda installer. Moreover, we build our own VM templates from scratch for VMs for which I'm a maintainer of the Fedora, Debian, CentOS or Gentoo ones. For the Fedora/CentOS work on Qubes OS, I have several COPR repositories https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/fepitre/ for which I've built some of Fedora packages for CentOS not in EPEL or maybe some of you have seen my few PRs this summer in order to ease me the build of a larger python3.8 repository for CentOS 8+. I'm contacting you because I would like to propose my help for either Fedora or EPEL packaging. Notably, I'm recently involved in reproducible topics (https://reproducible-builds.org/) for which I'm trying to implement RPM support and packaging for tools like `reprotest` (see https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/reprotest/-/merge_requests/10 or https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/disorderfs/-/merge_requests/4). The idea is to help into reviving Fedora reproducible builds topic (see https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/rpms/fedora-23.html). I'm using Redhat linux distribution family for more than 20 years so I guess it's time to propose my help into this community effort. Best regards, Frédéric
