Hello, First off, my apologies for the poor etiquette of not introducing myself before. My name is David Sastre, I work as a Cloud Architect for Red Hat in the EMEA region. My background is in system administration, identity management, security and automation. These days more focused in OpenShift and all things containers. I have always had an interest in ham radio, but never had enough time, motivation or money at the same time to commit to it properly. Now might be a good time. As a complete newbie to this field, I'm reading a lot, preparing to take my exam and get licensed. In my country, Spain, there are a few amateur radio associations, I'm a member of the URE (www.ure.es), where I've been assigned a temporary listening-only indicative (EA6325URE) until I get the definitive one. In the meantime, I've been using some of the already packaged software available in Fedora, and filled a couple of BZs (nothing really relevant), in order to, at least, have something to prove my interest in this SIG and my willingness to contribute. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1815664 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1815481 I'm also interested in the (obviously) closely related field of electronics. I'm completely self-tought, so may I ask the group to bear with me while I learn the ropes. Cheers!
Hello, I'm still interested in contributing to this SIG and would like to hear back from members. I understand everyone may be busy and I don't expect an immediate response, but I'd like to know more about potential areas I could contribute to. Thanks.

Hi David, I do not see too much action on this list. Maybe we should compile a list of current ham radio related apps/programs and then identify the ones you want to use. Another way of saying this is what are your own interests, radio wise, and do you see a need anywhere? You may not have a good idea on this until you are getting on the air so to speak. Myself, I want to try getting digital modes up and running. Unfortunately, I get so busy with other stuff I never seem to have the time. 73 Jerry KF7RCC

I'd say the wiki pages need some attention, unfortunately, it is not possible for me to log in to make edits, as per policy to prevent spam. (Now I understand what @Ben Williams meant in his response to my request to join this SIG). What is the expected way to join a group and gain edit privileges in the wiki? Regarding packaging, I'm currently going through the existing documentation to understand the process.

This is mostly new for me as well, as I'm just starting to learn about the different modes in existence. For the time being, I think I'd like to start by updating the information in the wiki while I get familiar with the packaging process. (I build packages locally for my own use, but packaging for the distribution is a different thing) I'll ask for help/mentorship when I'm confident enough with it. Is there any wish-list regarding the wiki pages? As far as I can tell, there is no standard format to present the content and each SIG does it in a different way. Updating the list of packages and maybe using a format like in [1] could be useful. In any case, I'd appreciate if somebody in the SIG can point me in the right direction wrt joining the group and/or getting edit privileges in the wiki. Thanks for reading.

@david and @ben I'll see if I can get the radio spin to build on 32 and push one to the response drive this weekend. On Fri, Apr 24, 2020, 8:27 AM Ben Williams <jbwillia@math.vt.edu> wrote:
