I work for Red Hat as an engineering operations manager. I joined the company in February 2008 and until July 2010, I served as the Fedora Project Leader and chairman of the Fedora Project Board. I also dabble in the following bits:
- The Documentation team, as a writer, editor, and part-time balladeer
- Maintainer of fedora-release-notes and a few other useful packages
- Help with the Insight project
- Merciless and sometimes foolhardy wiki gardening
I help drive the Fredericksburg (VA) Linux Users Group (FredLUG), which meets twice monthly in my hometown.
I was a founding member of the Fedora Project Board, and served the community there from April 2006 to July 2007.
