Self Introduction: Lyes Saadi
Hi !
So, it's now 1 week that I have proposed to join the package maintainer
community ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1770147 , it
would be really kind of you to review it ;), or give me a thought, not
especially sponsorship, just advice) and that I subscribed to the devel
mailing list (You seem really passionate about modularity :p). I didn't
post my Self Introduction the same day as I wanted to know a little bit
about this amazing community that I joined for many years now and how it
works behind. Fedora is my first Linux, and, even if I tested other
distributions, Fedora was the only one that I kept through my journey,
for it's bleeding edge software, it's incredible community, it's
innovating solutions (Silverblue, that I'm using), and it's openness.
And today (or a week ago :p), it's my turn, finally, to contribute. I
would really be honored to do it.
For my packaging experience, I haven't done anything big, yet. I
contributed here and there to some COPR specs, I built some myself (like
NoteKit, that appeared in the last "4 cool new projects to try in COPR",
I was so proud, and I was so happy for the developer of that awesome
program). But the package that made me here, is mbpfan, an incredible
daemon for MacBooks, that I thought was a shame that it isn't on
Fedora's repos while on Debian's, Ubuntu's and other repos... It's a
wonderful program to control fan speed of MacBook, very poorly managed
by default. IMHO, it is crucial to the experience of Linux on Macs.
Now, about my self. So I'm a French-Tunisian guy, love programming, math
and Linux. Nothing really interesting about me. I have Fedora Silverblue
on an old MacBook as a main PC. I've grown to like Fedora and Linux in
general. When I joined this community, I was mind blown by everything:
By the fact that we can change the DE, the fact that it was free and
open, the fact that It doesn't crash constantly, and the fact that
everyone is invited to contribute to it, which is now my turn :D.
So, as a last statement (or paragraph), thank you all, thank you for
reading me, thank you for your hard work, thank you for dedicating your
life to Linux, to help millions around the globe, for freeing the poor
and the enthusiast of Windows. Thank you all for being part of this
community and allowing me to be part of it (hopefully :D).
If you have some time :) :
