Hi, some of you might have heard of it already, but I think I probably should announce it here: The Fedora Extras Steering Committee has elected a new chair (sometimes also known as "Fearless Leader") last Thursday in the FESCo-meeting. Greg DeKoenigsberg stepped down from this position to have more free time for other Fedora-related tasks in the future. I was elected to do the job from now on. Short Biography: In my real-life I'm 28 Years old and live together with my girlfriend in a small House with garden in Hannover (Germany). We own two cats (Linus [ ;-) ] and Lucy) and have no children. My virtual Fedora-Life started with packaging alsa for fedora.us in fall/winter 2003 iirc. Shortly after that I also began packaging stuff for a well known 3rd party repo that spun-off the old fedora.us and is compatible with fedora.us/Fedora Extras. I maintain 17 packages in Fedora Extras (According to owners.list). I joined FESCo last Summer at FUDCon II on LinuxTag. Why was I selected for this job: Seems my recent work on the kernel-module stuff was one of the reasons. The other probably was that I'm *not* on the payroll of Red Hat. My plans for the future of Fedora Extras: Good question. I have some in my mind, but nothing earth shaking; keep watching http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/Schedule and the lists for details. The real question here is: What do you think that I (or FESCo/Fedora Extras in general) *should* do (better) in the future? Are there any areas where you think "Fedora Extras needs to improve here", "this works a lot better in Distribution X than in Fedora Extras". I would be glad to get input from you all. Send them either directly to me (preferred) or to the list (If you think that a discussion on the topic is overdue). Thanks in advance. CU thl -- Thorsten Leemhuis <fedora@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
