Tom 'spot' Callaway does not currently possess any notable mutant powers.

However, he is currently the Fedora Engineering Manager.

He served three consequtive elected terms on the Fedora Board from 2007 to 2011.

He is also responsible for the Aurora SPARC Linux Project, which is a port of Fedora to SPARC. He's worked for Red Hat since February 2001, and is worshipped by lemurs throughout the known universe.



You can email him at: tcallawaredhat.com  On IRC (freenode.net), he's "spot".

He also maintains a LOT of packages in Fedora. He used to keep a list here, but it was a pain to maintain. Pkgdb has this list: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/users/packages/spot?acls=owner&acls=commit (some things I only co-maintain, or are dead packages now)

He's currently leading the Fedora Packaging Committee, responsible for RPM Packaging Standards and Practices.

Due to an incredibly erratic and unpredictable schedule, he doesn't currently keep regular office hours in #fedora (or anywhere on IRC for that matter).

And last but not least, he's a Sponsor for new Contributors. Currently, he sponsors these fine people:

Chuck R. Anderson Dmitry Butskoy Jeff Carlson Didier Casse Mark Cox Kushal Das Patrice Dumas Ralf Ertzinger Kevin Fenzi Chris Grau Kevin Gray Ed Hill Dan Horák Neil Horman Patrick Laughton John Patrick Mahowald José Matos Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski Karen Rei Pease Ian Pilcher Orion Poplawski Jef Spaleta Quentin Spencer Richard A. Stout Andreas Thienemann Axel Thimm Jason L Tibbitts III Toni Willberg Paul Wouters

If any of them screw up, feel free to let him know.
