Internetnews.com 6.29.10 Red Hat names new Fedora Project Leader By Sean Michael Kerner I'm a huge fan of the work and the leadership that current Fedora Project Leader Paul Frields has done since 2008. Frields has always been one of the most articulate, honest and insightful Linux community leaders that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. [clip] The process of how Fedora's leadership is chosen is different than other distributions. It's not a totally democratic process like the one that Debian has. On the other hand it's not totally autocratic like Ubuntu. In a mailing list posting announcing the transition, Frields explained the process. "One of the hallmarks of Fedora leadership is that it's open to change," Frields wrote. "The FPL is not a semi-benevolent dictator for life, but rather a position to which new people can regularly bring their passion for making Fedora better...The FPL job is a salaried position at Red Hat, and the Fedora Board members as well as many other stakeholders have been informed and involved with the process of selecting a new FPL." * Full post: http://blog.internetnews.com/skerner/2010/06/red-hat-names-new-fedora-proje.html -- marketing mailing list marketing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing
