Allison Randal becomes the Ubuntu Technical Architect

Allison Randal, known to many for her work in the Perl and Parrot communities, has announced that she has taken on a new role as the Technical Architect for the Ubuntu distribution. "Right at the start, I should make it clear that I am not the SABDFL. I'm here to help turn his vision into reality. That's what architects do, translate between the potential for a building and carefully measured graphite on paper, then act as a resource for the whole crew as they work together to translate an abstract plan into hard steel, warm brick, and shining glass. I'm here to champion the community's vision for Ubuntu, to facilitate conversations as we integrate multiple perspectives and balance multiple needs, to ask good questions that help us find better solutions. I'm here to help smooth some of the bumps in the road, because no road worth traveling is ever completely easy."
