Greetings!
Activities within Fedora
Community Blog
I am the editor-in-chief for the Fedora Community Blog.
Docs
My first foray into Fedora was joining the Docs team in 2009. I was volunteered to be the Docs project leader in November 2011. Mostly my contributions involve administrivia, easy bug fixes, and occasional chapters about printing. I sort of faded away from the docs project when life got in the way. I still pop in every once in a while to offer opinions and minor contributions.

Packaging
I am an maintainer or co-maintainer of

I also maintain Copr builds for
QA
I occasionally contribute to QA activities, mostly by upgrading to the next release prior to the Beta release and enabling updates-testing. I also frequently vote on blockers/freeze exceptions.
Fedora Program Manager
I was the Fedora Program Manager (FPgM) frpm June 2018 until I was laid off by Red Hat in May 2023. I wrangled the changes, managed the schedule, and generally helped herd the cats. As the FPgM, I often found myself jumping into many areas to help out when needed.
