Greetings, earthlings! I'm Robyn Bergeron.

About me

I work for Red Hat as the Fedora Project Leader. I've been involved in Fedora since 2009 and have contributed in a variety of ways:

For the current moment, I am also serving as the Fedora Program Manager, which means generally tending to the Fedora Schedule and doing feature wrangling for each release. I began my career at Red Hat in this position in November 2010, and in addition to being PM for Fedora, I also do work for the clustering team, and previously was active in helping to kick-start the oVirt project.]

If you're curious about what I'm up to, or what plans I have, check out my "What am I Doing" page, which might be better known as my to-do list (and things accomplished list).
