Hi, My name is Kjetil Nygård, and I have been using RedHat / Fedora since '99 / Red Hat 5.2, but I have not been a contributor yet. --  Regards,    Kjetil Nygård    +47 4147 4337    polpot78(a)gmail.com _______________________________________________ fedora-join mailing list fedora-join(a)lists.fedoraproject.org http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/fedora-join@lists.fedorapr oject.org

Good morning Kjetil, I also would like to contribute to Fedora.  The Fedora-join list does not get a lot of traffic.  If you already know a fedora contributor you should ask them to mentor you through the process to become a contributor. Without a mentor it is easy to stall.  Please try to journal your progress of becoming a contributor and post your progress so others might trace your progress.  Good luck and thank you for your efforts to improve fedora.

You could create a patch and attach it to a bug in bugzilla for python-boto3. It might be a good idea to try to reach the current maintainer to coordinate the work.

(github-like) There is a goal to get to this point. Remember, we predate github by a long time, and sometimes it's hard to move legacies. Maybe this is actually something you'd like to help us with! That'd be an awesome way to get involved. Take a look at https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/infrastructure@lists.fe doraproject.org/thread/ZA6FPCITGOPCFKJLOIMHVRK66JSMNWHF/ > 4.

To find the package maintainer, see https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/rpms/python-boto3/. ANd for the process on becoming a co-maintainer, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager _group#Become_a_co-maintainer However, do note that just incrementing the package version in a spec file doesn't actually update the package to that version. It's unfortunately a lot more manual than that. (For some good reasons, but mostly because no one has really invested the time in making it otherwise.)
