Thanks Bruno for the tip!
So, here goes an open request for sponsor. Is anyone interested in
sponsoring me? I learn fast, so after the initial discussions I should
be able to do things on my own. It won't be baby-sitting for too long!
My current Fedora activities include a "Ready for Wrangler" Fedora
Scientific Spin [1] and i have few plans regarding the future trajectory
of the SciTech SIG, which is where I intend to involve myself heavily.
However, maintaining the "contacts" package looked an interesting place
to begin!
Request for Sponsor (was Orphaning packages)
