It is with great regret that I announce the resignation of Josh Boyer from the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee (FESCo). Josh has been an incredibly valuable member of FESCo during the time that he has served. It's important to note that the reason for this resignation is that Josh believes that community leaders should be actively leading in the community. With his other commitments, Josh simply could not make the time for both FESCo and maintaining a leadership role within the community. This is not the fault of Josh, FESCo in general, or any member of FESCo in particular. Instead, it represents that Josh is upholding the values that we hold dear in Fedora - openness, honesty, transparency, and meritocracy. Josh will be focusing on the QA of updates to stable Fedora releases, where he will need all the help that he can get. Please reach out to Josh and offer whatever help you can provide him in this effort. Replacing Josh on FESCo, per the succession policy[1], will be David Woodhouse, as he was the next highest runner-up in the recent elections[2]. Please join me in wishing Josh the best, and welcoming David back to FESCo.
