Hi, I'm Robert! I am mostly found on Fedora Discussion or in Matrix as @rwright:fedora.im in the CommOps and Fedora Pride rooms. I mostly today contribute in data-driven analytics in the Fedora community and am working to advance our ability to gain insights from our overall community health. I've been a long time Fedora user (https://rwright.co/remembering-freepctech) and a more recent active contributor in the community.

I've lived a bit all over the place, mostly moving around as a job requirement for my previous work at Xerox (now Conduent) in the BPO space. A large amount of my background is in data governance and performance management.
