From Fedora Project Wiki

Hi. I'm Robyn. If you've landed on this page looking for my "About Me" page, go here. Otherwise: The purpose of this page is to provide some transparency around what I'm doing all day as the Fedora Project Leader. This page is a work in progress; I'm still figuring out how to make this information moderately digestable, while still providing good insight as to what I'm getting done, or planning on getting done.

For now, I've got three sections: one for "this week" - another for short-term accomplishments, which I figure to be in the next month or so - and the last is long-term, bigger, meatier goals. I'm not going to be hyperlinking and whatnot on the tasks; the goal is to provide transparency, and not to spend all my time on a to-do list without actually doing things. :) Note that the "this week" stuff doesn't include obvious things like "respond to email" or "attend meetings" or "generally participating in Fedora-land by being on IRC."
