== [[User:jforbes|Justin Forbes]] (jforbes) ==
== [[User:Sgallagh|Stephen Gallagher]] (sgallagh) ==


* '''Mission Statement:''' Work to make Fedora a distribution the community can be proud of, with focus on both features and stability. Stressing the balance of new features with QA and release engineering to make Fedora releases both innovative and high quality.
* '''Mission Statement:''' Make Fedora THE platform for rapidly developing the next generation of free, open-source software.
* '''Past work summary:''' My original involvement in the Fedora project was working on the port to x86_64 for FC1. More recently I have been focused on virtualization within Fedora and the Cloud SIG.
* '''Past work summary:''' Red Hat employee since 2008, Lead developer of the System Security Services Daemon, participant in the FreeIPA project. Fedora Hosted admin maintaining ReviewBoard. FESCo member since June 2011. Currently serving on the Fedora Server Working group.
* '''Future plans:''' Strive to make Fedora the best freely available distribution. Focus on improving improving the developer/tester interaction, the feature process, and general communication with the community.
* '''Future plans:''' Continue to drive Fedora to become the best platform for developing exciting new technologies for the desktop and datacenter. Involve myself heavily with the Fedora Server product development and delivery.


== [[User:limb|Jon Ciesla]] (limburgher) ==


* '''Mission Statement:''' To further the goals of the project and Free Software in general by helping enable contributors to bring the highest quality and most diverse collection of software to the distribution. I'm fully committed to the goals of Free Software, for ideological, but also primarily technical reasons.
== [[User:Ausil|Dennis Gilmore]] (dgilmore) ==
* '''Past work summary:''' I've been a Fedora user since RHL 7.1, and an active packager since 2007, as well as a sponsor and member of the FPC.  I initially focused on games and php applications, but have expanded to other things over time.  I also encounter and deal with many of the issues we encounter as a project in the course of my day job.
 
* '''Future plans:''' Ideally, I'd like to find ways to encourage and educate new contributors. I've sponsored a few new packagers, but would like to help shorten the time from first interest to active packager, and can only do so much on my own. I also have ideas and opinions on many areas FESCO address, and would like to contribute what experience I have to those conversations.
* '''Mission Statement:''' Ensure Fedora is sanely deliverable, and continues to be leading edge
* '''Past work summary:''' Former FESCo member, Former Fedora Board Member, Lead for Secondary Arches in Fedora, Fedora Release Engineer lead, Involved in Fedora since its inception. Currently serving on the Base Working Group. Member of Fedora Infrastructure. Red Hat Employee since 2008.
* '''Future plans:''' Enable Fedora to deliver a great core, set of products, tooling and documention to enable people to come up with creative new ways to deploy and use Fedora in the real world.
 
== Miloslav Trmač (mitr) ==
 
* '''Mission Statement:''' Ensure Fedora products form a coordinated and well-integrated universe.
* '''Past work summary:''' Currently FESCo and Server WG member, security architect at Red Hat.  Contributor since RHL times, worked on all parts of the technology stack (from kernel through basic infrastructure to desktop and web applications).  Author of the Fedora signing server.
* '''Future plans:'''
** With the introduction of Fedora products, make sure that they make consistent technology choices to avoid splintering the Fedora universe into incompatible subgroups and wasting effort on reimplementations.
** More QA automation - supporting the current tool work, make it more integrated into the packaging process and increasing testing coverage.
** Fedora is often the place where packages affected by changes other packages first interact, and handling this well is critical for achieving good user experience. To that end, I want to improve the handling of changes that affect other packages and ensuring distribution-wide consistency - while making it possible to make successful transitions faster, not slowing change down in bureaucracy.
** I also generally favor policies that allow quick bug->fix turnaround time and allow more enhancements into released versions of Fedora.
** Outside of FESCo my interest is in improving security of Fedora.

* '''Mission statement:''' Fedora should be a solid platform for development. I'd like to see FESCo as strict reviewer of new features, which can be disruptive for the distribution. FESCo should guide and help with global changes. But it shouldn't create new processes, it should rather review old ones.
* '''Past work summary:''' Red Hat employee since 2006, maintaining about 150 packages, mainly Perl modules.
* '''Future plans:''' Currently, I'm working on Dynamic Software Collection, which could provide more versions of software in the distribution. I'd like to co-operate on creation of better scripts and guidelines for (mass-)rebuilds.


== [[Miloslav Trmač]] (mitr) ==
* '''Mission Statement:''' Fedora must be usable as the development platform for all kind of developers.
* '''Past work summary:''' FESCo member and Env and Stacks WG coordinator. I used to work mainly on maintenance of the Perl stack.
* '''Future plans:''' Work on goals defined by Env and Stacks WG. I'd like to see more automatization in packaging and updates. I'd like to help enable software stacks for projects like Cloud or Big Data by SCL.
 
== [[User:Toshio|Toshio Kuratomi]] (abadger1999) ==
 
* '''Mission Statement:''' Fedora is undergoing a transition from being simply a single Linux Distribution into a project that will create several overlapping distributions and various other platforms and technologies.  I'd like the opportunity to help guide Fedora through the transition so that we can both create these new products and not abandon the good parts of the model that people have come to expect.
* '''Past work summary:''' Infrastructure hacker.  Fedora Packaging Committee member.  Current FESCo member.  Fedora packager from fedora.us to the present.  Involved in the rather ad hoc Python SIG and EPEL packaging.
* '''Future plans:'''  Currently working on how to integrate SCLs into Fedora.  Looking forwards, I think we'll need something similar for docker images and openshift cartridges/gears as well.
 
== [[User:kyle|Kyle McMartin]] (kylem) ==
 
* '''Mission Statement:''' Ensure Fedora remains on the cutting edge of open source software, while providing a consistent and coherent experience to users.
* '''Past work summary:''' Red Hat employee since 2007, Linux kernel developer, toolchain tinkerer, general OS bug fixer. Previously a Debian developer and Canonical/Ubuntu developer.
* '''Future plans:''' Bring my experience to bear in guiding Fedora for the next few years as we transition from a mere collection of packages grouped together with little integration into a series of targeted products.

=== Questionnaire ===
* '''Past work summary:''' Contributor since RHL times, worked on many things including tcsh i18n/signal handling rewrite, initscripts, pyrpm, switch from MD5 to SHA-256 hashes in RPM and other places, system-config-audit, audit-viewer, TTY input auditing, volume_key, encrypted disk support in libvirt, kernel's crypto interface, and the Fedora signing server. Used to be a heavy-duty translator into Czech.
* Question1?
* '''Future plans:''' Linux is primarily shaped by things that happen upstream.  In the limited capacity that FESCo has to influence it, I want to generally favor policies that allow quick bug->fix turnaround time, allow more enhancements into released versions of Fedora, and ask for clear and time-definite migration paths when subsystem replacements are proposed (at least within the default spin).  Outside of FESCo my interest is in improving security of Fedora as a whole, without requiring manual work for each individual package.
