My first contribution to Fedora was in 2023 when I packaged numberstation. I packaged it because there was no TOTP client that fit nicely on PinePhone’s screen and at that point I had already been running Fedora on my desktop for few years so I figure I’ll give something back.
Going through of Package Guidelines and all packaging related things, the first contribution felt a bit intimidating due the amount of information and the responsibilities which comes when you’re a packager.
I have been contributing to open source before my first Fedora contribution so this has been additional path for the journey as I have then gained maintainership of few mobile related packages.
