Subject: Self-Introduction Christian Glombek (lorbus) / NEEDSPONSOR /
NEEDREVIEWs / Let's Meet @ DevConf or FOSDEM!
Hello World!
My name is Christian Glombek (or simply Chris :) and I'd like to
join the
Fedora Packagers Group. I'm currently a student of Electrical Engineering
and Business Management at RWTH University in Aachen, Germany.
My FAS and IRC handle is `lorbus` and on GitHub and Twitter I'm
`LorbusChris`. I've been using Fedora for two or so years on my daily
drivers, very much to my satisfaction.
Fedora's focus on modern concepts, especially container technology, intrigues
me. Its community to me has always seemed open, friendly, diverse and
knowledgeable.
I also feel that Fedora's sponsor Red Hat has established a symbiotic
relationship with this community, transparently supporting a quite
remarkable and rightfully successful business model.
I feel passionate about Open Source Technology and would like to participate!
Over the past few months I've been feeding my interests in some
corners of
the extended Fedora universe, mainly tinkering with RPM and Ansible Playbook
Bundle (APB) packaging and also trying out custom Atomic/OSTree builds (love
Atomic Workstation!).
RPMs:
NEEDSPONSOR
I want to get some packages into Fedora proper and I need a sponsor for that!
I'd also hugely appreciate (unofficial) reviews or any other feedback for the
following packages:
libreoffice-online-rpm:
NEEDREVIEW (later, WIP)
BZ:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1494915
COPR:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/lorbus/libreoffice-online/
Repo:
https://github.com/LorbusChris/libreoffice-online-rpm
Note:
The frontend part of libreoffice-online, loleaflet, uses `npm install` during
build (versioned with a npm-shrinkwrap file). From what I've read about
packaging nodejs modules, I'll probably have to manually download and add
all module sources to the rpm. WIP.
rspamd-rpm:
NEEDREVIEW (later, WIP)
BZ:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1494914
COPR:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/lorbus/rspamd/
Repo:
https://github.com/LorbusChris/rspamd-rpm
Note:
I'll have to gather some more info about bundled softwares, possibly split
out some existing dep packages.
ragel-rpm / colm-rpm:
I also did some work updating the already-existing Ragel (dep of Rspamd) and
Colm (dep of Ragel) rpms and was consequently asked by current repo
maintainer Jason Taylor (jtaylor) to take over the position, which I'll
gladly do once I've found a sponsor and get the privilege of joining the
packagers' group!
I'd like to try out Modularity packaging for Ragel as it has two release
streams, stable and development, of which only the latter is in Fedora.
(I made a ragel-compat rpm for the stable release stream, which can be found
on COPR, but I believe Modularity's arbitrary branching would be a perfect
fit here!)
COPR ragel-compat:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/lorbus/ragel-compat/
APBs:
I also like the idea of the Kubernetes Service Catalog, in
conjunction with
the Ansible Service Broker (and Ansible in general) and so I did some
tinkering with Ansible Playbook Bundles, the packaging format for the
Ansible Broker:
awx-apb:
Repo:
https://github.com/LorbusChris/awx-apb
Note:
APB to broker (provision/deprovision) Ansible AWX.
Can also be used as an alternative installer for AWX deployment on OpenShift.
openshift-acme-installer:
Repo:
https://github.com/LorbusChris/openshift-acme-installer
Note:
Installer for
https://github.com/tnozicka/openshift-acme
Non-standard privilged (cluster-admin) APB, can be used as installer, not
currently for brokering.
Eventually, I'd like to see FreeIPA, Dovecot, Postfix, Rspamd,
Clamd,
NextCloud, LibreOffice Online, Prosody and Coturn all packaged for Fedora as
RPM and Docker and for K8s Service Catalog as APB for use in a little pet
project of mine:
https://github.com/contor-cloud/contor (WIP)
Expect to see me around on the IRC, too! I'll be saying hello in
the relevant
channels in the coming days.
If you have any questions or maybe have a task for me at hand, please let me
know!
Attending Conferences
In December I met up with Fedora Ambassador Till Maas (till) for tea
here in
Aachen and was given answers to lots of my questions regarding Fedora.
Thanks again, Till!
He also encouraged me to attend conferences, which is why I will be at:
- DevConf.cz, Brno, Jan 26-28, that's this Weekend!
- CentOS Dojo, Brussels, Feb 2
- FOSDEM, Brussels, Feb 3
- Config Management Camp, Gent, Feb 5-7
I hope to meet some members of the community there in person! Please
feel
free to ping me if you're there! :)
I'm looking forward to participating and contributing here!
Best regards
Christian Glombek
