I work for an MNC in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. I am an OpenSource Promoter.
You can find [[/Bio | my official bio here]].
 
I joined [http://redhat.com/ Red Hat] in February 2008, and until July 2010, I served as the [[Project Leader|Fedora Project Leader]] and chairman of the [[Board| Fedora Project Board]].  Starting in 2010, until launch in June 2014, I worked as a development coordinator for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
 
Since late 2013, I've been the manager of the [[Fedora Engineering]] team.  I spend most of my Fedora time providing light direction, internal and administrative support, and roadblock-clearing for the team members.  I see my job as helping them (1) be maximally successful at their jobs, and (2) develop as Red Hat associates and professionals.
 
Nowadays in what little spare time I have, I dabble in the following Fedora bits:
* Editing and sometimes writing for the [[Magazine]] ([https://fedoramagazine.org direct link])
* Give bits of advice and help to the [[FPL]] as a member of the "ex-FPL club"
* Work on my own [http://pulsecaster.org PulseCaster] project (it's [https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/pulsecaster available in Fedora] of course!)
* Maintain Fedora [https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/users/packages/pfrields?acls=commit packages]
 
I'm a member (inactive) in the [http://fredlug.info/ Fredericksburg (VA) Linux Users Group] (FredLUG), which meets twice monthly in my hometown.
 
I was a founding member of the [[Board|Fedora Project Board]] as a volunteer contributor, and served the community there from April 2006 to July 2007.  I've been involved in the Fedora Project since 2003.

I joined Red Hat in February 2008, and until July 2010, I served as the Fedora Project Leader and chairman of the Fedora Project Board. Starting in 2010, until launch in June 2014, I worked as a development coordinator for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Since late 2013, I've been the manager of the Fedora Engineering team. I spend most of my Fedora time providing light direction, internal and administrative support, and roadblock-clearing for the team members. I see my job as helping them (1) be maximally successful at their jobs, and (2) develop as Red Hat associates and professionals.

Nowadays in what little spare time I have, I dabble in the following Fedora bits:

I'm a member (inactive) in the Fredericksburg (VA) Linux Users Group (FredLUG), which meets twice monthly in my hometown.

I was a founding member of the Fedora Project Board as a volunteer contributor, and served the community there from April 2006 to July 2007. I've been involved in the Fedora Project since 2003.
