Hi there @Igor - was hoping that I could join the snapcrafters as a maintainer/developer. I am relatively new (coming up on one month) software engineer at Canonical. I live in the HPC team but I like to produce snaps for applications that I find myself using often.
I would be interested in maintaining the Jenkins snap, and I have a snap of my own that I would like to contribute to Snapcrafters: https://github.com/NucciTheBoss/marktext.
Let me know if there is anything else you need from me.
Hey @nuccitheboss Awesome! I’ll send you an invite to the snapcrafters GH team and if you like I can also invite you to our Telegram group, where we discuss all things snapcraftery.
Any progress on this? would be great if stables channels got updated frequently also? I see some snaps tat still on updates from 2021 while edge is on 2022.
Hello there, for some of the snaps, we have steady updates, for for some, not quite as much as we’d like. Our team is growing but we need more people and more participation. We welcome fresh joiners and anyone who can assist in maintenance and testing.
I would like to be part of it.
Hi @juanmitaboada can you a share bit more on how you’d like to be involved? Would you like to maintain snaps, help with documentation, anything else?
Hello @Igor , I got a great experience using snap ( I published my first snap RedisMultiplexer ) and it took me a while to find out that I needed to use “plugs” to make it work as expected. I would like to help maintain snaps and help new programmers to progress in making new snaps.
I’m brand new to snaps, so I don’t qualify for membership. However, I would like to read your documentation to learn more about how snaps relate to apparmor, since the two are now used extensively in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
I have received various apparmor notifications that I would like to resolve in a secure way. My first notification was caused by the firefox snap/apparmor profile. In researching this, I found that the documentation of how snaps include apparmor profiles wasn’t clear to me (at least). Perhaps the documentation needs to be improved, and I would like to make suggestions for specific documentation for snaps which use apparmor, in case I think this would be helpful to others using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS or other Ubuntu versions that enable apparmor for snaps.
Hello @juanmitaboada and @hgolden thank you for your interest!
@juanmitaboada which snaps would you like to help maintain among the ones we already have covered under snapcrafters?
@hgolden maybe as a first step, you can contribute documentation PRs to snapcrafters snaps, and once you get more comfortable, move on to more complex tasks?
Since I am new here, I would love it if you point to me where you need help and I start maintaining that package, once we see I am doing things right I start with some others. Thank you.
Hello all – I’m new to snapcrafting but I wanted to get some of the science tools I use up as snaps. This should make it easier for me (and anyone else) to install them locally or on containers. I am happy to be a regular member.
Hello @RJDan do you need help to create those snaps? I am willing to help you.
Hello @juanmitaboada Some help would be greatly appreciated! I have got the hang of really simple snaps (just dumping images and the like into a snap) but I need to get better at troubleshooting the confinement.
@RJDan I sent you a message to help you with those snaps. 
Hello Thanks again for offering to help. I will send you an update as soon as I get back to it. I am doing it in my spare time so I might only get back to you a while later.
Hi I just published my first snap Tube Converter. I would like to join this community. I will try to manage as many snaps as possible. Mostly from the gnome-world. My github page: github.com/soumyaDghosh
Just don’t do dumb shit 
@soumyaDghosh Hello there. What kind of work would you like to do or help contribute?
I would try to port the gnome circle apps to the snap-store, try to style up snapcraft.yaml files of various projects like fragments, headset, amberol by @alexmurray nd wherever I find that the best practices aren’t used like compression: lzo not used, or the cleanup part is not used, or the style is outdated.
Most of the gnome apps are made specifically focusing on flatpak, so often what happens, sometimes there are some special permissions, sometimes the app wants to run in background, but there is no way to do so, at least I can’t find. Also the python & gnome, the python extension is completely broken with gnome extension, and most of the gnome apps are python based. There is the flutter issue also, the flutter extension & plugin is only available for core18, not so updated and lack a lot of packages. I recently posted out about one such issue in forum, but none replied, another big problem… The forum seems to be lacking people who really knows the snap completely.
I would really love if someone helps me out on this issues, as at the end it would enhance the snap community, not me.
For the snaps you’d like to port or maintain, can you submit some prs against those repos, and then the snapcrafters team will look and see how they improve the existing yamls and usage, and then we can invite you to our group, and work together.
