== [[User:jwboyer|Josh Boyer]] (jwb) ==
=== Introduction===
* '''Mission statement:'''
**To ensure Fedora remains a high quality, leading edge distribution with a variety of uses.
 
* '''Past work summary:'''
** I have been a Fedora user since its inception, and a Fedora contributor since around Fedora Core 4. In the past I've held positions on the Fedora Board and Fedora rel-eng teams. I was also part of the PowerPC secondary architecture effort. I've been on FESCo off and on since 2006. I am currently one of the three Fedora kernel maintainers.
 
* '''Future plans:'''
** Continue to let developers and contributors accomplish what they need with a minimum amount of process and overhead.  Continue to look at the distro as a whole with an eye on improving the usability and function for a variety of targets.
 
== [[User:Sparks|Eric Christensen]] (sparks) ==
=== Introduction===
* '''Mission statement:'''
** To continue to make Fedora as open as possible for as many people and projects.
 
* '''Past work summary'''.
** Docs Project, packager, and current Board member.
 
* '''Future plans:'''
** Strive to bring transparency, openness, and community to the Fedora Project.  I'd like to further the concept of the Fedora operating system as a platform as well as make Fedora an easier and better solution for our users when compared to other operating systems.
 
== [[User:mjg59| Matthew Garrett]] (mjg59) ==
=== Introduction===
* '''Mission statement:'''
** To encourage a Fedora that attracts a diverse community founded on mutual respect and a desire to produce a world-beating Linux distribution.
* '''Past work summary:'''
** I've been a Fedora user since 2008, and am active in various aspects of Fedora development including the kernel and Anaconda. I've served on FESCo and was a founding member of the Community Working Group, helping author the early drafts of our code of conduct and enforcement guidelines. I implemented significant portions of the Fedora UEFI Secure Boot support while at Red Hat, and continue to develop it since I left.
* '''Future plans:'''
** At a technical level, I'm going to continue working to improve Fedora's hardware support and make it as easy as possible for users to get Fedora onto their systems. At a social level, I want to be actively involved in the user base discussion. Fedora isn't just about satisfying the users we have, it's about the users we want - and it's important for us to identify what stands between us and achieving that goal. The hostile tone present on many of our project communication channels is a barrier to involvement and fits poorly with the inclusive focus of much of our publicity. This needs to change.

* Working on Enlightenment as a new feature coming in Fedora 20.

* As a board member I would like to offer a fresh set of opinions. Ones that may or may not be popular but should be expressed. Mainly I would like to solve the issues that recur daily in #fedora for the users. Make it easier for contributors to join Fedora, improving our design choices and our reputation for overall stability.
