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:

Marketing team leader
Cloud SIG wrangler
Ambassador, travelling to and speaking at many events where Fedora has a presence
Organized the 2011 North American FUDCon in Tempe, Arizona.

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).

IRL (In real life!)

I live in the Phoenix, AZ area. Give me a jingle if you're in the area :)

2012 Events I plan to attend

~~FUDCon:Blacksburg, January 13-15~~ done!
~~SCALE 10x, also known as the Southern California Linux Expo, January 20-22. I'll be giving a talk on Cloudy things.~~ done!
Southeast LinuxFest is a never-ever-miss event, and is moving this year to Charlotte, NC. June 8-10.
Red Hat Summit. Boston 26-29. Check out the page dedicated to Fedora's presence at this event.
Ohio Linux Fest, September 28-30, in Columbus, Ohio.
Other stuff: TBD! I'm always happy to come out and talk or help out at an event where Fedora folks are gathering. Feel free to send me mail about doing such a thing.

Looking for schedule information?

The current schedule can always be found here.

Additionally, if you're the super planning type and planning on aligning a feature or package in a future fedora release, schedules are available through Fedora 20 for your perusal.

Please note that future schedules are subject to change, are not set in stone, and may still have bugs in them; however, the major dates, such as release dates, freeze dates, and feature submission dates, are fairly close to accurate.

Previous release schedules can be seen here. Thanks to my predecessor John Poelstra for being awesome, and leaving things in good enough shape for me to be able to figure them out. :)

-Greetings, earthlings! I'm Robyn Bergeron. I do [[marketing]] "stuff" for Fedora.  Market research is my thing, and strategic marketing / general strategy development is something i consider fun and exciting.

-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] every year; I encourage people to submit papers for and attend this great event, and if you know anything about LaTeX, I would love to have more help.  Awesomely, all the work / editing / building of the proceedings for this event is done on fedorapeople.org.
+Greetings, earthlings! I'm Robyn Bergeron.
-Speaking of Fedora... what, you may ask, do I do within the Fedora Project?  As I said, I'm a contributor on the marketing team - you have probably (hopefully!) seen my emails making calls to the community for participation in things like the [[Release_slogan | F13 release slogan]], [[Fedora_13_Talking_Points | F13 talking points]], and probably many other things.  I've also been working on driving [[Marketing_research | market research]] forward; if you took the [[Marketing_research#FUDCon_Toronto_2009_Survey | Post-FUDCon survey]], or have seen me banging the rallying drum for packaging work on [[Things_to_do_to_finish_Limesurvey| Limesurvey]] on my blog... those are just a few of the things I'm doing, research-wise.  As far as other team infrastructure goes - I also run the weekly [[Marketing_meetings | marketing meeting]] on IRC sometimes, am one of the admins for the [https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ Marketing Trac] instance, and one of the sponsors in FAS for new members to the Marketing group.  Other things I've done and continue to do include [[Feature_profiles | feature profile]] [[Desktop_Enhancements_in_Fedora_12 |interviews]], make sure that the marketing team is keeping on track to produce our deliverables according to [http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-13/f-13-marketing-tasks.html schedule], wikify various marketing things, and in general, just try to restrain myself from volunteering for more than I can actually do. :)  I was also delighted to attend the recent [[Marketing_FAD_2010 | Marketing FAD]] and help drive some of the schedule and deliverables at that event.
