Hi everyone,

You may have seen me by now in the mailing lists or on IRC. Let me introduce myself. My name is Arthur Bols. I'm a Computer Science student from Belgium with a strong interest in FOSS and Linux. In 2017 I joined a student organization which strives to bring Computer Science and technology closer to students from an Open Source vision and using Free and Open Source Software. This pushed me on the path to using Linux as a daily driver and becoming increasingly interested in the Linux and Open Source community. After experimenting with many distributions, which I had a variety of different problems with, I was looking for a distribution which was stable, but offered up-to-date software. I finally settled on Fedora 30+ which has suited me very well.

The past year, I've been using copr [0] to package missing or outdated software for myself and others. As this is unofficial and apparently people really use my packages, I would like to put my efforts in improving the Fedora repositories and become a package maintainer. To learn more about the packaging guidelines, I've been doing some preliminary reviews [1], [2] and [3]. Although there are only 3 of them, the reactions by other package maintainers helped me a lot.

I have submitted my first review request for Moolticute. Moolticute [4] is a companion app to a Mooltipass device (a hardware password manager). It allows interaction between the Mooltipass and your pc for inserting passwords, managing the password database, and many more. You can find the review request here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1974749

As this is my first package, I am looking for a sponsor. By becoming sponsored, I also want to try to prevent QtPass from being retired. It is currently orphaned and will be retired in 2 weeks. QtPass is a useful tool and development is still ongoing. It would be sad to see it go.

I'm looking forward to collaborating with the Fedora community. If you have any questions, feel free to reply on this email or you can find me on IRC as principis.

Kind regards,
Arthur Bols
