Self Introduction: Iain R. Learmonth

[Iain R. Learmonth]

Hi,

I understand that as a prospective package maintainer for Fedora I'm
encouraged to send an email to introduce myself to devel. As I plan to be
working on amateur radio software, I've copied the fedora-hams mailing list
too.

I've been contributing to Debian as a packager, amongst other things, since
January 2014. I am involved in the Debian Hamradio Maintainers team and you
can see a list of the packages I've worked on here:

  https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=irl%40fsfe.org

I am also working on a Debian Hamradio Blend. Blends in Debian are based
entirely on packages that exist in Debian and aim to provide easy methods of
getting the right software, and configuring it, to perform certain tasks.
This concept seems similar to the Fedora Spins concept. More information
about the Debian Hamradio Blend can be found here:

  http://blends.debian.org/hamradio/

While there are a couple of packages I have plans to package for Fedora, I
think my main contribution to Fedora will be through collaboration the the
Fedora Amateur Radio SIG, sharing information about bugs and patches,
discovering new software to package and working to resolve upstream issues.

I have packaged pyqso, a logging tool for radio amateurs, and have submitted
this for review. If you have some time, I would appreciate it if you could
take a look.

I am in #fedora-hams on Freenode (nick is irl) if you would like to contact
me. You can also email me at irl at fsfe.org (0xE9846C49).

Thanks,
Iain.
