About Us

The Infrastructure Team consists of dedicated volunteers and professionals managing the servers, building the tools and utilities, and creating new applications to make Fedora development a smoother process. We're located all over the globe and communicate primarily by IRC and e-mail.

Officers

The officers list is an attempt to bring more order and ownership to the Fedora Infrastructure.
Who is responsible:

* Infrastructure Lead -  Kevin Fenzi 
* Build System/Package Manager -  Dennis Gilmore 
* Security Officer -  Luke Macken 
* Development Manager -  Toshio Kuratomi 

The officers generally decide what needs to be done in the day to day operations of the various Fedora infrastructure facilities. The officers themselves work for the developers and end users but ultimately report to the Fedora Project Board. This basically means that we'll try to do whatever we can to fill needs and fix things but if we refuse for whatever reason, the final decision can be made by the Fedora Project Board. Such decisions, however, are rare.
For more information on our officers and governance method see our Officers page.

Communicating

The Infrastructure Team coordinates their activities using a variety of tools. Our primary methods of communication are weekly IRC meetings, the IRC channel #fedora-admin[?] located on freenode.net, and the mailing list.
