Fedora Project Leader: Hello and Goodbye

Advertisement
In his ongoing series of interviews on the Fedora wiki, Jonathan Roberts talks to both the incoming and outgoing Fedora Project Leaders, Paul Frields and Max Spevack respectively. The interview covers the history of the position, how it came about, what Spevack accomplished, what Frields hopes to accomplish, and more. "Paul: To be honest, like most Fedora contributors outside Red Hat, I didn't know Max. However, I did know that Matthew Szulik had asked Max specifically to do this job. I also knew Matthew was totally committed to an open culture that promoted work like that of Fedora, so I knew that his choice would be informed by those principles. If he was putting his faith in Max, I was pretty certain we could expect someone carrying those principles into practice. When I met Max at the Fedora Core 5 FUDCon in 2006 I knew he was definitely one of us! And the last two years have been a real testament to that good judgment on Matthew's part."
