Re: Interested in joining Debian Hams to help from time to time

Hello Martin,

Best thing is to fix bugs and/or to package applications and ask someone to sponsor your package.

Please read also the New Maintainer guide.

My free time is, unfortunately too limited but I read the group a I am here to help :-)

Hello,

I'm Martin Herren - HB9FXX.

I'm a Linux user since 1997 and for many years mostly using Debian. I'm also a radio amateur mostly interested in SDR related things and satellite reception in S-Band.
I'm mostly a C++ developer and tester. Also work a lot with Python and am currently learning Go.

Despite my little spare time I'd be interested from time to time to contribute back to Debian and amateur radio related packages might be a good starting point. I don't have much spare time so I don't know what the best approach would be. Probably there could be specific tasks/bugs I could help with from time to time. I'd be interested in learning more about Debian packaging as well.

I'm the author of QrssPiG https://gitlab.com/hb9fxx/qrsspig for which I neither have much time but is still maintained and improved for over 5 years.
I also contributed 3 minor fixes upstream for bladeRF, Airspy and AirspyHF and also sometimes contribute to other (radio related) software not part of Debian.

So if you think there might be things I could help with let me know how I could best get started.

73s de Martin Herren
