For the past several months I've been pretty disconnected from Fedora unfortunately, with job and life changes. I plan to begin contributing regularly as time allows.
I have worked on the Virtualization beat for Fedora Weekly News and the Release Notes.
For each release I begin by gathering all the info on features and updates I can, and place it on the following pages before moving it to the public release notes beat page.
I'm vegan and I mountain bike a lot.
