My EMEA Community Red Hat Credit Card Report
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Jsimon/community_credit_card_report
My Fedora Events since 2005
Can be found at http://jsimon.fedorapeople.org/events/
I work on Fedora - since 2005 - to bring in or bring back OSS Security Test Applications like dsniff, unicornscan or others along with the Fedora Security Lab as the current maintainer of the Fedora Security Spin. I served as Member of the Fedora Board in 2010-2011 and as the FAmSCo Chair till December 2010 for the Fedora Ambassadors Steering Committee. To increase the Quality of the Ambassador Membership Process, i developed and established a new mentoring process. Till recently i dedicated a large part of my time to the Ambassador Membership Service (FAMA) to guide new Contributors as a sponsor and mentor into the Fedora Project. And my other "everyday" Job in Fedora is to take care of the EMEA Budget and Payments to reimburse our Contributors and sponsoring_event_attendees - i also worked out the Community Credit Card Process and i also maintain some fedora mailing lists as Administrator.
Besides all this i always try new MarketingMaterials producing SWAG for us - or work as PressOfficer for the Fedora EMEA e.V. and help as one of the few Fedora in Library Activists. I initiated a few things which today are essential parts within Fedora Ambassadors, like the AmbassadorPolo or the well known generic Posterdesigns from MairinDuffy. Promoting Fedora on Events is also a major part of a Ambassador and so i work as organizer, driver, helper, slogger, promoter on a lot Events every year, supported by my Company. I contribute also to other OpenSource Projects like the LDAP Workgroup BW, the ISECOM and to the null community

Person
Joerg Simon was born in 1971 in Gera, Thüringen (East-Germany). He lives in Baden-Württemberg with his wife Sabine. His first contact with IT related stuff was in the middle 80's (KC85 ) at School. In the early 90's he joined the German Army for 12 years, first in a data processing unit, later he trained and worked in programming on UNIX Mainframe Computers. He changed the unit and attended a UNIX based GIS System (HEROS ) for display location and situation in battle scenarios. During the last 4 years he led the Information Management Department in the same Unit and improved his knowledge in IT Security. At the same time in 1996 he worked with several Linux Distributions to join smaller units on one regional Information System , supported by a colleague and friend (crenz ). After his time in the Army he worked 2 years as an instructor and promoted Linux in several presentations and scripts. During this period he evolved to dedicate a part of his life to the foss world. In 2004 he changed to HIC AG as a Security Consultant - in 2015 he took charge as a Division Director to create the Security Business at audius GmbH. From 2004 to 2006 he joined the ldap workgroup of bwcon:boss to work on new schemes, new concepts and to encourage and enable the ldap interoperapility between different foss projects. Also during that time he joined the Fedora project. Starting with his first FUDCon in 2005, he is contributing to multiple groups in the Fedora Project - doing administrative work as a former FAmSCo Chair and a Fedora Board Member. He is one of the founding members of the Fedora EMEA e.V. NPO. His main focus in Fedora today is: the work on Community Development, the Fedora Security Spin, Fedora mailing list and membership administration and working on strong support for Fedora in the former eastern bloc. With his involvement in the OSSTMM, he recently initiated a german localization project and work's on a special customized OSSTMM Security-Live-System based on Fedora. He travels the world to introduce new ways and metrics to make sense of security.
