I'm very pleased to announce that Josh Boyer has been selected to fill the final seat on the Fedora Project Board. Josh is well known around the Fedora community for his work with release engineering and many other development-oriented groups, as well as his past work with FESCo and as a maintainer of Fedora on PPC architecture. I hope the community will join me in welcoming him to the Board where we hope he can help achieve some of the goals put forward during the town hall meetings earlier this month. As a reminder, the final appointment is made by the FPL in part to balance the Board's composition, but mainly to ensure the best possible Board representation. In this particular case, Josh narrowly missed election by a few votes, but his appointment owes only to his leadership in the community and the way he represents himself reguarly in the Project. The new Board will meet for the first time later this week, on Thursday, July 2, 2009, at an IRC public meeting. I speak for the whole Board when I say that we look forward to serving the community and that your input is always welcome.
