I think there are others that would be willing to help mentor you if you'd be interested in the challenge (with help). The Golang SIG has regular meetings and various ways to communicate, which might be a good way to engage: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Go > >> >> This notably impacts Fedora CoreOS as we are including the moby-engine >> package by default to let users pick their container engine of choice >> whithout deciding for them in advance.
