* '''Mission Statement:'''

Nominees are requested to answer the selected questions using '''[https://pagure.io/fedora-pgm/elections-interviews/new_issue?template=FESCo-Election private issue in Pagure]'''.

* '''Past work summary:'''
* '''Future plans:'''


== [[User:Pjones|Peter Jones]] (pjones) ==


* '''Mission Statement:''' I'll continue to work to maintain a high level of technical feasibility and avoid micromanagement in decisions made by FESCo. I'll try to streamline our processes for developers, and to avoid processes that result in unnecessary work, or in duplication of effort.  As I've shown in the past, I'll continue to try to guide our policy decisions to put the power and responsibility in developers hands rather than requiring FESCo's or other committee's intervention and participation at every level.
== Candidate Nominations ==
Please nominate just by Name, IRC nick and FAS account ID.


* '''Past Work Summary:''' I've worked on Linux for Red Hat for more than a decade in various roles including technical support and engineering. I'm one of the anaconda maintainers as well as the maintainer of (thankfully now deprecated) mkinitrd, and am or have been maintainer Fedora's packages for booty, cdparanoia, dumpet, gnu-efi, grub, python-pyblock, syslinux, and others.  I've worked on many levels of our software stack, including implementing installation and boot support for iSCSI, UEFI, dmraid, from the kernel all the way up through userspace. I'm currently a member of FESCo seeking re-election, and have been serving in this capacity since the winter election of 2009.
You may self-nominate. If you wish to nominate someone else, please consult with that person ahead of time.


* '''Future Plans:''' I'm currently focused on implementing and impoving UEFI support in anaconda as well as supporting various storage technologies in anaconda and dracut.  As a FESCo member I'll continue to help ensure that developers have what they need to implement their features and bug fixes with as little hindrance as possible, and at the same time avoid unnecessary and wasted effort.
