Greetings from your Fedora Program Manager!

Activities within Fedora

Fedora Program Manager

I started as the Fedora Program Manager (FPgM) in June 2018. I wrangle the changes, manage the schedule, and generally help herd the cats. As the FPgM, I often find myself jumping into many areas to help out when needed.

Community Blog

I am the editor-in-chief for the Fedora Community Blog.

Docs

My first foray into Fedora was joining the Docs team in 2009. I was volunteered to be the Docs project leader in November 2011. Mostly my contributions involve administrivia, easy bug fixes, and occasional chapters about printing. I sort of faded away from the docs project when life got in the way. I still pop in every once in a while to offer opinions and minor contributions.

IoT

I help out with some of the administrivia in the IoT team.

Magazine

I was one of the Fedora Magazine Editors from 2019-2021.

Websites

I help make small changes to the Fedora websites.
