Hello There.
Im Tony. I had the intent of writing an introduction that went into all sorts details about who I am, what I love, and why Im emailing this community. Pardon the clichéd, over used subject line; I failed at thinking of something that wouldnt turn out to be super stuffy. Instead I decided Im going to keep this short, direct and to the point. Why am I emailing this list? Im your new Tianocore community manager. As best as I can tell, no one has had this role, and Im the first. And Im thrilled to have the opportunity to help Tianocore evolve into an awesome-er OSS program. So why you? Why not? I have years of experience with UEFI, I know many of you, and now the time is right for me to inject my passion and interests into Tianocore. If I dont know you, I want to know you. I have a vision and passion for Tianocore. That vision includes a desire to increase contribution levels by all members of the community into Tianocore. Whats going to change with Tianocore? I hope much positive change will come. More details will follow in the coming weeks. As many of you know, several of our members (led by Erik, Jordan) have been leading the efforts to move to GitHub. Thats just the tip of the iceberg of improvements that are coming. If there are barriers to contribution levels, I want to help knock those down. If we cant knock them down, I want to navigate around them. How do I contact you? Email, g+, twitter are acceptable methods. If you get my phone number, thats also acceptable. Morse code is OK too, just give me enough time to brush up on my morse skills. If you feel inclined feel free to send me a direct email. But tell me what you like about Tianocore program, what you dont like, and what youre passionate about seeing implemented or not. You may include your view of any upcoming RPG titles, in particular Im very excited about Dark Souls 3 being released in April. Ill be at the March UEFI Plugfest in Taipei and the latter ones in addition to Linuxcon and other events. If theres an event that I should be, shoot me an email. More to come, but this is good for now. And if youre into twitter, follow @tianocore (I own that), and theres a Tianocore community on g+ now (https://goo.gl/YstPzT). You can also follow my personal twitter, g+ as well.
