I am a Red Hat engineer since January 2006. May main area of work has been package handling. I've been a yum developer around 2007/2008 before I moved to RPM development. I am currently looking on the whole package handling stack and trying to come up with an overall plan of everything.

Packages

 * Fedora in Numbers: Size and Growth of Fedora over the past years
 * Layers of Tools: How are the tools stacked on each other
 * Layers of Data: Different abstractions and groupings of the bits on disk and elsewhere
 * About Comps.xml: How comps works and what doesn't work that well
 * New model: Different approach to organize things. Blue Sky.
 * Next Layer: Idea with materialized groups. Hide packages from interface. Blue Sky.
 * Still unsorted stuff

AppStream
A cross distro project to establish an application meta data format.

I gave a talk on AppStream at the FudCon Tempe (Slides and IRC log)

Projects

 * RPM
 * YUM
 * AppStream
