Hi, my name is Fedora Core "Bordeaux", and today I am 5.
I'd like to offer congrats and thanks to everyone who worked so hard to
make this release possible -- the community contributors, all of the
developers who worked tirelessly, the docs and translation teams, the
marketing and ambassadors folks who help spread Fedora to the masses, the
testing community, and everyone else who is involved.
It's a great release, and I hope that everyone involved is proud of what
we've accomplished.
For those of you who don't yet know me, let me introduce myself. I've
been with Red Hat for about a year and a half, and over the course of the
last month I've transitioned from an engineering and quality assurance job
into a new role as Red Hat's Fedora Project Leader.
My job is to represent the Fedora Project within Red Hat, to work with all
of the leaders within the Fedora Project (the leaders within the community
as well as inside of the Red Hat fenceline), and to set priorities and
direction at the level of engineering, budget, testing, branding,
marketing, and community building.
I've been getting to know people in those various sub-sets of Fedora, but
today's release seemed like a great time to make an official introduction
via email, and I will be at FUDCon Boston on April 7th, and I hope to have
a chance to meet with and speak to lots of members of the Fedora community
there.
Enjoy fc5. Congratulations again to everyone who was involved.
