Does anyone work on adding support for opensource FortiGate SSL VPN NetworkManager client to Ubuntu?



According to this blog https://blogs.gnome.org/lkundrak/2015/09/24/fortigate-ssl-vpn-support-added-to-networkmanager/ there is initial support for open source FortiGate client.



(Frontend: network-manager-fortisslvpn, Backend: openfortivpn )



If there is no one, how can I help?



I am a software developer however having no experiences Ubuntu packaging rules/contribution policies. Any constructive guidance welcome.
