• Interest in Contributing to Debian Python

    From Arian Ott@21:1/5 to All on Wed Apr 30 00:40:01 2025
    Dear Python Debian Team,
    my name is Arian, and I'm currently in my 4th semester of Business IT with
    the focus on Data Science (dual degree program). Over the past years, I
    have come to rely almost entirely on open-source software in my personal proxmox based homelab. Additionally, I work with enterprise architecture, Python, Debian and much more during my practical semesters. That experience
    has shaped my appreciation for the values behind open source, and I now
    feel ready to start giving something back.

    Because of the data science focus, I have been intensively using Python
    during my practical semesters at work. Next to python I had the
    opportunity to learn SAP ABAP (ECC and HANA) as well and solved tickets end
    to end during my last practical semester.

    *I have intermediate to advanced knowledge of:*

    - REST-APIs (mainly FastAPI)
    - Django
    - Retrieval-Augmented generation (my first project thesis)
    - Docker (I prefer to dockerise as much as possible)
    - Proxmox (running a cluster in my homelab)
    - Java (although I prefer python in nearly all cases)

    *I have foundational knowledge of:*

    - Data Science
    - MQTT (my latest project involves MQTT for my proxmox orchestration)
    - Assembly (Atmel 8051 Microcontroller programming)
    - SAP ECC and HANA development


    Experiencing the positive impact of open source software on humanity is incredible. Without open source, the world would be less colourful. I’d
    like to begin contributing to Debian, particularly within the Python Team,
    as Python is the language I work with most often. I’m reaching out to ask whether someone might be open to mentoring me through my first
    contributions.

    I am motivated to learn how Debian packaging works, help maintain Python modules, and support the project in any way I can (through coding, documentation, help streamlining the processes ...) starting with small, manageable tasks and building up from there.

    I’m committed, willing to put in the time, and genuinely excited about joining a community that has already given me so much.

    *I agree that I have read and accept the policies.*

    I’m pleased to make your acquaintance.

    Experiencing the positive impact of open source software on humanity is incredible. Without open source, the world would be less colourful. I’d like to begin contributing to Debian, particularly within the Python Team,
    as Python is the language I work with most often. I’m reaching out to ask whether someone might be open to mentoring me through my first

    I would be happy to.

    I am motivated to learn how Debian packaging works, help maintain Python modules, and support the project in any way I can (through coding, documentation, help streamlining the processes ...) starting with small, manageable tasks and building up from there.

    If you haven’t already, I would recommend you read some of the documentation listed at:

    https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers/

    I’m committed, willing to put in the time, and genuinely excited about joining a community that has already given me so much.

    Are there any packages you already use in Debian that you would like to help maintain? Or are there any packages you would like to see in Debian that are not already here? If you need a place to look you can check out the following lists:
