Re: Engineering Representiatve for the new Fedora Council
After consulting various people, I nominate Josh Boyer as a candidate. He is an experienced and highly esteemed fesco board member and I believe he is the right person to join the council as Eng. Rep. His experience and his broad but deep understanding of Fedora engineering will be valuable. I'm speaking here on my own behalf, not as a board member. This should not prevent you to nominate another candidate including yourself.

I'm fine with this if people think I'd be a good representative for them. josh -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
