I started as the Fedora Program Manager (FPgM) in June 2018. I wrangle the [[Changes | changes]], manage the [[Schedule | schedule]], and generally help herd the cats. Because I don't scale well, I started a [https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/program_management/pgm_team/ Program Management Team]. As the FPgM, I often find myself jumping into many areas to help out when needed.
