It is definitely nice to see such a major group of open-source supporters joining Bigtop effort! I am sure our project and community can greatly benefit from your knowledge in RPMs and other RH/Fedora specific issues.
As you might know, Bigtop is distro agnostic stack framework, and we devide out attention equally between Ubuntu, SUSE, and Fedora/CentOS. My guess is that you would be most interested in the latter part of the distro set. Hence, for your convenience here's the list of outstanding RPM specific issues https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20BIGTOP%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20AND%20component%20%3D%20RPM%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC that you might consider worthy helping with! I am sure we all are looking forward for the contributions and new patches! Welcome aboard, guys!
