1. Michael Damian Tiemann 2. USA, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 3. VP, Open Source Affairs (and former hacker) 4. Red Hat, Inc. (in Raleigh) 5. My goals are to push some extra useful packages that are built for other or ancient distros into Fedora Extras. These packages are ones that I believe will greatly expand the relevance of Fedora as a development platform because of the additional communities they bring with them. In particular: * revive blender3d for FC2/Extras (was in FC1/Extras) * add support for the R language (see http://www.r-project.org/) * bring GRASS to Fedora (FreeGIS has been funded to do this) * bring in the latest and greatest free bioinformatics sw * see if the new eGroupware stuff is ready for FC2/Extras As for doing QA, I can certainly do sanity checking of packages that I've built or that others have built but not published to Fedora. 6. Historical qualifications * A long time ago in a galaxy far away, I was a GCC hacker * I know C, C++, and can parse bash, perl, and many other languages * You should trust me because (1) Christian Gafton knows how to find me (I work in the same building) and (2) Warren Togami brought me macademia nuts from Hawaii 7.
