Richard Fontana
My name is Richard Fontana. My contributions to the Fedora Project are mostly related to my day job in Red Hat's legal department.
I was a Red Hat Linux user for many years, beginning sometime in 1997. I began using Fedora shortly after I started working at Red Hat in early 2008. I've used Fedora extensively since then. Currently I have Fedora Workstation and Fedora Silverblue installed on a few laptops and I also run Fedora Server on a NUC.
