Join the Fedora Neuro SIG

[Patrick Vavrina]

Hello,

I introduce myself my name is Patrick Vavrina, Fedora Project contributor and Ambassador
since 2015. I’ve been using GNU/Linux and FLOSS since 1998. I live in Geneva, Switzerland.


I would like to join the NeuroFedora Team: 
release management, QA testing, packaging and documentation: wiki and docs website. 

What is the process to join the Fedora Neuro SIG? 

Thank you. 

Have a nice Sunday!

Best regards,
Patrick “Patux”

Welcome, and great to have you here. There's no real formal process. A
majority of our work is around package maintenance, so if you're already
a package maintainer (i.e., part of the packager group[1]), we just add
you to the neuro-sig packager group[2] so you get access to the packages
we collectively maintain.

If you're not already a package maintainer, we can help you become one.
The process is the same[3].

I don't think QA/testing requires any special membership, and all our
documentation is also just on Pagure for all to help with.

We have this summarised in our documentation here[4].

Hi Ankur,

Thank you for your response.

I am not already a package maintainer but I would like to become one. I 
read the docs[3][4].

Could you please help me to be a member of Fedora Packager GIT Commit 
Group and neuro SIG packaging group?

Kind regards,
Patrick

Sure! There are a few ways of being sponsored to the package maintainers
group. You can see them here:

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/How_to_Get_Spons...

So, perhaps the first thing to do would be to find a package that
interests you. We have a list of packages here that are waiting for
someone to package:

https://pagure.io/neuro-sig/NeuroFedora/issues

Or, you can also look at our dashboard and see if there are any
bugs/open issues that you'd like to help with:

https://packager-dashboard.fedoraproject.org/dashboard?groups=neuro-sig

Do note that until you're sponsored to the packager group, you'll need
to checkout already existing packages anonymously to open pull requests:

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/Package_Maintena...

We're always in the chat channel, so if you need any help, please drop
by there and ask. There's also the -devel channel where all package
maintainers hang out, so also worth joining:

https://matrix.to/#/#neuro:fedoraproject.org
https://matrix.to/#/#devel:fedoraproject.org

You can login to chat.fedoraproject.org using your Fedora credentials
(it'll use the single sign on (SSO)).
