Hi folks, I would like to become involved in the release management for openSUSE Tumbleweed, and I hope I'm addressing this message to the proper channel. If there is a more appropriate forum for this kind of request, then I'd appreciate if someone could point me into the right direction. I'm a member of the SUSE packagers team and my role there is, mostly, to handle Emergency Updates. In that function, I've been involved in SLE release management for a while now. I've also contributed a handful of packages to openSUSE Leap and Tumbleweed, and I've benefited a lot from the feedback and testing efforts the review team kindly provided. These experiences have made me curious about the inner workings of the distribution. Being exposed to the process from the user / developer side of things has given me a few insights, but I still feel like I don't know enough. Therefore, I'd like to volunteer some of my time for helping with the management of Tumbleweed. I figure, the best thing to do would be to take care those tasks related to devel:languages:haskell at first that other people are doing for me today, like, managing the appropriate adi staging areas, ensuring nothing breaks due to new submissions, etc. I could basically take some workload off the current team and kind-of eat my own dog food to get familiar with the procedures more than I am today. That should allow me to take on other responsibilities and get involved more in tasks outside of my "sandbox", so I can contribute to the effort to a greater extend. I've been a professional software engineer working with Unix/Linux for some 20 years or so, and I've also contributed to Gentoo, ArchLinux, and NixOS before, so I believe it's a reasonable assumption that I can grow into a productive role in the team without breaking everything in the process. :-) I'm curious to find out what you folks think about the whole idea and look forward to your feedback.
