Greetings, earthlings! I'm Robyn Bergeron. I do [[marketing]] "stuff" for Fedora. Market research is my thing, and strategic marketing is something i consider fun and exciting. But really, marketing stuff in general I can pick up on fairly quickly, so I can wear many hats. :D

I am, as I say, a domestic household engineer, which means I have 2 kids, a man, and usually something planned for burning for dinner.  In my former lives I have been a business analyst, a market research analyst, and I'm also a recovering [http://xkcd.com/149/ sysadmin].  I have no official employer, unless you ask my kids, who quite possibly think that I work for them. :)  I also help edit papers for the Ottawa / Montreal [http://http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2009/ Linux Symposium.]

Greetings, earthlings! I'm Robyn Bergeron.

About me

I work for Red Hat as the Fedora Project Leader. I've been involved in Fedora since 2009 and have contributed in a variety of ways:

For the current moment, I am also serving as the Fedora Program Manager, which means generally tending to the Fedora Schedule and doing feature wrangling for each release. I began my career at Red Hat in this position in November 2010, and in addition to being PM for Fedora, I also do work for the clustering team, and previously was active in helping to kick-start the oVirt project.]

If you're curious about what I'm up to, or what plans I have, check out my "What am I Doing" page, which might be better known as my to-do list (and things accomplished list).
