As many of you know I have been hired on to work on Fedora Infrastructure full time. This will be a great thing for our group. Initially I'll be spending a lot of time getting our house in order and fixing a lot of those little things that we keep putting off. Many of the mid term goals we've already talked about and are on the Schedule page. I'd like to hear the communities ideas now that we have a dedicated resource (me). I'm especially interested in things that will help other teams do what they need to do. Like how to not screw the doc's guys during the next release or better empowering sponsors. Encouraging new volunteers to come and volunteer management / coordination is also something we need to address soon, we're growing quite quickly. With these things in mind try not to think specifically about our infrastructure team but about the project as a whole and how we can aid the community to thrive. I'll officially be starting the first week in Feburary and will be looking for ways to expand our infrastructure both in Red Hat and outside of Red Hat, perhaps by finding partnership in an additional University. As long as we're smart about what we commit to, I have no doubt that we'll be able to provide the community with everything they need. -Mike
