Hello Brian,
Welcome to fedora! ... but I guess you've been using fedora for a while!
I'm relatively new as a packager myself, but I can give you some pointers:
The official Fedora matrix space can be found here: #fedora-space:
fedoraproject.org All you gotta do is get there with your favorite Matrix
client and you should be able to see many channels that you can join.
As far as packaging goes, I'd say find a subproject/SIG that you like in
fedora, you can find the SIGs here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:SIGs Sometimes they have an IRC
channel, or a matrix chatroom, introduce yourself and they might be able to
help you find something to help with.
Or, if you just have some packages you like, get your feet wet by looking
at the package files (For example: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/lutris)
and play with it on your own computer for a bit.
But instead of going in too deep with the explanations, you should
probably take a look at this:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/Joining_the_Pack...
Some good mailing groups to join is the devel group (
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/)
and the packaging group (
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/packaging@lists.fedoraproje...)
but honestly, there are many mailing lists.
Good luck, and have fun!

Hi everyone,
I'm Brian, 32 years of age and I come from the beautiful west coast of
Ireland. Currently working as a software engineer and living in Dublin,
Ireland. Interests (outside of tech) include photography, rugby, cooking,
reading, coffee, casual gaming & taking my cat, Toddy, for walks.
I have been trying to remember when I first came across the Fedora
project. I think it was about 8 or 9 years ago while I was working at my
first company - all of the workstations had CentOS 6 installed which was
nice and stable but I was looking for something with fresher packages and
my search quickly led me to Fedora. I have been pretty much using Fedora as
my main OS since then. These days I'm running a number of Fedora variants
here at home including Silverblue, Workstation, Server and ARM. Fedora has
allowed me to learn so much over the years and that is one of the reasons
why I want to contribute back.
My day job involves working with the KubeVirt community as one of the CI
maintainers for the project so I do have some experience working with open
source software communities. Most of my previous work has been focused
around the areas of CI/CD, Automation, Tooling and Infrastructure
(including production cloud and bare-metal environments). I am also
reasonably comfortable with Go, Rust and Python. I would be interested in
contributing to Fedora in these areas but also in other areas of the
project such as Docs and QA.
For communication platforms, I have experience using mailing lists and I
find them quite useful. No strong feelings towards any chat platforms
really. I have joined Matrix so you should be able to find me
there(brianmcarey).
Initially I would be looking to commit to about 4 hours a week and
depending on how that goes maybe increase it over time. If anyone has a
good first issue which they think might be a nice fit for me after that
brief introduction, please let me know. For now, I am going to join a few
of the relevant mailing lists & matrix rooms to get a better idea of the
processes and how the community works together.
Kind regards,Brian
