I work for an MNC in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. I am an OpenSource Promoter.
You can find [[/Bio | my official bio here]].
 
I joined [http://redhat.com/ Red Hat] in February 2008, and until July 2010, I served as the [[Project Leader|Fedora Project Leader]] and chairman of the [[Board| Fedora Project Board]].  Starting in 2010, until launch in June 2014, I worked as a development coordinator for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
 
Since late 2013, I've been the manager of the [[Fedora Engineering]] team.  I spend most of my Fedora time providing light direction, internal and administrative support, and roadblock-clearing for the team members.  I see my job as helping them (1) be maximally successful at their jobs, and (2) develop as Red Hat associates and professionals.
 
Nowadays in what little spare time I have, I dabble in the following Fedora bits:
* Editing and sometimes writing for the [[Magazine]] ([https://fedoramagazine.org direct link])
* 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://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/pulsecaster available in Fedora] of course!)
* Maintain Fedora [https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/users/packages/pfrields?acls=commit packages]
 
I'm a member (inactive) in the [http://fredlug.info/ 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.

Since late 2013, I've been the manager of the Fedora Engineering team. I spend most of my Fedora time providing light direction, internal and administrative support, and roadblock-clearing for the team members. I see my job as helping them (1) be maximally successful at their jobs, and (2) develop as Red Hat associates and professionals.

Nowadays in what little spare time I have, I dabble in the following Fedora bits:
