Hi Charalampos !

    Hello all,

    I'm Charalampos Mitrodimas, a Software Engineer from Greece and I
    would
    like to get involved in the Debian Rust packaging team.

awesome !

    This would be my first time contributing to Debian packages and I
    would
    probably require some guidance. I've studied the procedures of Debian
    packaging and already packaged (for learning) some Rust-specific
    projectswhile doing so.

Do you have a certain project in mind you want to work on ? Most members of the team are working towards certain ITPs <https://wiki.debian.org/ITP> or packages. If you just want to help updating and maintaining existing packages, that's also great. For starters I can recommend this <https://blog.hackeriet.no/packaging-a-rust-project-for-debian/>as a read to get started. Feel free to join the #debian-rust IRC channel and ask questions there.

I do not have certain project in mind.

While tasks on existing packages will help me understand the general workflow better, I'm OK with picking up an ITP bug report. I already had a quick look and I found this RFP[1].



best,

I will go ahead and reply to #1040327 as my first task if that's OK.

Also regarding "/join rust-team on salsa"/[2], what is the recommended procedure to join? I already have an account on Salsa.
