Tom 'spot' Callaway

You can email him at: spotaws<AT>amazon.com
On IRC (freenode.net), he's "spot".

Roles

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

For 19 years (2001-2020), he was at Red Hat in a variety of roles including (but not limited to)
- He was the Fedora Engineering Manager
- He was the Fedora Packaging Committee chair (responsible for RPM Packaging Standards and Practices)
- He handled Fedora Legal tasks (and was the Fedora liason to Red Hat Legal)
- He served three consecutive elected terms on the Fedora Board from 2007 to 2011.

In addition:
- He was responsible for the Aurora SPARC Linux Project, which was a port of Fedora to SPARC. This effort is long dead.
- He is worshipped by lemurs throughout the known universe.

Currently:
- I work on the Open Source Strategy and Marketing team at AWS (Amazon) as a Principal Open Source Evangelist.

Packages

He also maintains a LOT of packages in Fedora. He used to keep a list here, but it was a pain to maintain. A full list can be found here: https://src.fedoraproject.org/user/spot

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)
