I work for an MNC in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. I am an OpenSource Promoter.
You can find [[/Bio | my official bio here]].
I work for [http://redhat.com/ Red Hat] as the manager of the [[Fedora Engineering]] team.  I joined the company in February 2008 and until July 2010, I served as the [[Project Leader|Fedora Project Leader]] and chairman of the [[Board| Fedora Project Board]].  Nowadays in what little spare time I have, I dabble in the following Fedora bits:
* Merciless and sometimes foolhardy [[wiki gardening]]
* Give bits of advice and help to the [[FPL]] as a member of the "ex-FPL club"
* Work on my own [http://pulsecaster.org PulseCaster] project (it's [https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/applications/Pulsecaster available in Fedora] of course!)
* Maintain Fedora [https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/users/packages/pfrields?acls=commit packages]
 
I participate in the [http://fredlug.tux.org/ Fredericksburg (VA) Linux Users Group] (FredLUG), which meets twice monthly in my hometown.
 
I was a founding member of the [[Board|Fedora Project Board]] as a volunteer contributor, and served the community there from April 2006 to July 2007.  I've been involved in the Fedora Project since 2003.

* [[/Drafts| Drafts and Downloads]]
 
These documents appear on the [http://docs.fedoraproject.org/ Fedora documentation] Web site and in [http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/docs.shtml Docs CVS].  These docs now have fantastic maintainers, but there may be bits of my old work floating around in them:
* [http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/ Installation Guide]
* [http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ Release Notes]
* [http://docs.fedoraproject.org/jargon-buster/ Jargon Buster]
* [http://docs.fedoraproject.org/translation-quick-start-guide Translation Quick Start Guide]
 
In the past, I've also worked on these (now obsolete) documents:
* Installation Guides for FC4, FC5
* SELinux FAQ for FC5
* Yum Software Management for FC3, FC4
 
== Package Maintenance ==
I maintain or co-maintain the following packages in [[PackageMaintainers| the Fedora package collection]]: [https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/users/packages/pfrields Package listing]
 
I no longer maintain the following packages:
* {{package|drivel}} - dead upstream
* {{package|gnome-sudoku}} - moved into ''gnome-games''
 
== Obsolete Documents ==
 
These are deprecated because of changes over time to Fedora.  Currently these still appear in CVS, but may eventually become wistful memories.
 
* [http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/usb-hotplug/?root=docs USB-Hotplug Tutorial]
* Mirror Tutorial for FC2
* Web Publishing to docs.fedoraproject.org -- This subject is now covered in the [http://docs.fedoraproject.org/documentation-guide/ Documentation Guide].
