Hi all,

My name is Jeff Backus and I am interested in joining the packaging 
group. I have submitted my first package for review which is for Notion 
- a tabbed, tiling window manager forked from Ion3. This package was 
originally submitted to mainline Fedora, however it was rejected due to 
license issues. Ion3 was released under a modified LGPLv2.1 with 
restrictions on names of derivative works that Red Hat Legal felt was 
too restrictive. So, I would like to release this through RPM Fusion's 
non-free repository. I am in need of a sponsor and would be happy to 
earn my stripes reviewing other packages. I have already performed one 
informal review(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1055108) and 
plan to do more. Thanks for your time!

Regards,
Jeff
