A seat on the Fedora Board
-
Either due to ignorance or simply blunt encouragement for my evil plans for World Domination ™ (wicked music played in the background), I was appointed by Red Hat to take a seat on the Fedora Board.
I’ll start off by saying a big ‘Thank you’ to all who supported my candidacy and this decision. Fedora has evolved into one of the most influential and vibrant Linux distributions today and it’s a great honor to serve on its Board and represent the community on the issues the Board is accountable for.
I joined Fedora as a contributor much later than a lot of other folks. I still remember the enthusiasm when my Fedora account was approved. Since then I got a lot of similar enthusiasms: first patch accepted, first influential changeset accepted, email from the Leader, first conference… they’re so many. Now I’m yet again thrilled for having an opportunity to experience new things and serve the community in a different way.
The first thing on my agenda is take some time and grasp the new responsibilities and the areas I’d like to be accountable for. I’ve written quite a few big goals on my mission statement and I’d like to start talking with people right away about them.
This is one of the reasons I just booked myself a ticket to FOSDEM. I’ll mostly hang around the Fedora booth and the Python devroom, in case you’d like to find me and have some more TODOs added on my agenda. Or just fire up your email client and get in contact with any issues you’d like to discuss as part of my new role.
Off for some satanic thoughts now with my hot chocolate before going to bed.
