Bio

Warren Togami founded the original Fedora Project as a school project during 2002 while studying Computer Science at the University of Hawaii. The original Fedora aimed to expand the availability and quality of packages available for Red Hat Linux through the development of packages in a central repository by the collaboration of community volunteers. That project has since merged with Red Hat's development process and evolved to become the Fedora Project of today, which can be considered the Research & Development engine of Red Hat.

Warren currently is attending graduate school, and continues Open Source work as developer at the Apache SpamAssassin project and project lead of K12Linux.org.
