* '''Past work summary:''' I am seeking re-election to the Fedora Board, it will be my second term. I am currently employed by Red Hat (since 2001). I am the Fedora Engineering Manager inside Red Hat, leading a team of full-time Fedora contributors working at Red Hat, and acting as a liason between Red Hat and the community. I have been active in Fedora since its inception, serving on FESCo, chairing the Fedora Packaging Committee, and acting as the Fedora Legal point of contact. I generated the Secondary Architecture guidelines, and have advised the Fedora Board on related matters. I have more than 320 packages in Fedora, and I represent Fedora proudly at public events as part of the Fedora Ambassador team. I'm also involved with Fedora release engineering, and general troubleshooting that needs doing. I'm coordinating efforts on the Fedora Community project, and on top of all of that, I'm leading the Fedora SPARC effort. :)
For the last election, please look at [https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Board_nominations&oldid=341168 NominationsmayJune2013]


* '''Future Plans:'''  Continuing growth in Secondary Architectures, simplifying Packaging Guidelines, growing Fedora Infrastructure, spreading the Fedora message to the FOSS community at large. I want to improve Fedora and continue to make it a fun and exciting place to participate.
There are two seats up for elections this period:
* E1: currently held by [[User:Misc| Michael Scherer]]
* E2: currently held by [[User:Jreznik|Jaroslav Reznik]]


* '''Anything else:'''  Ninjas. Lots of them. A ninja army. So many ninjas, you can't see them from space.
