Fedora Project

Unfortunately balancing a busy working schedule with my community commitments is proving difficult. I'm currently working on a service provisioning solution written in Java and developed on Fedora. This is gives the chance to advocate Fedora and my software at the same time. I hope to spend more time on Fedora projects with a focus on embedded mobile technology offerings. I also want to continue my advocacy work for both Fedora and Red Hat in a more official capacity.
