I was on the first Fedora Engineering/Extras Steering Committee (FESCo) and served as a chairman for the second, but had to step down due to conflicting interests with my day job when Fedora Core and Extras merged. That made me shift my Focus, so I moved on and together with others start the EPEL effort and served as the EPEL Steering Committee chairmen till February 2008. I later was much praised for my work on Fedora by former Fedora project leader Greg DeKoenigsberg.

In parallel to my Fedora contributions within the Fedora project I did a lot of work for one of the most used 3rd-party add-on package repository for Fedora. Later I helped getting this repo merged with two others to form RPM Fusion, where I acted as key maintainer for several years; it quickly became the mostly widely used add-on repository for Fedora and still is to this day.

Over time my focus shifted more and more work in the area of the Linux kernel. That's why these days I'm maintaining just a few packages of Fedora Linux, but also run an add-on repositories serving Fedora packages containing up to date vanilla Linux kernels.

I'm still keeping a eye on some of the Fedora lists, but not as closely as I used to; so if there is anything Fedora-related you want to know from me or if you need my help with something better CC me.
