Fedora-yhteisön toiminnan ja vaikutusten koordinaattori

The Fedora Community Action and Impact Coordinator (or FCAIC) is a full-time, Red Hat-employed job to lead initiatives to grow the Fedora user and developer communities, and to make Red Hat / Fedora interactions even more transparent and positive. The Fedora community budget comes to us through the Red Hat Open Source Program Office (OSPO). This position facilitates decision-making on how to best focus that to meet our community’s goals and objectives. The FCAIC supports the Project Leader with all things "Community" and works directly with the Fedora Leadership to help bring more Heat and Light to the project.

The FCAIC is appointed to the Community Action and Impact seat on the Fedora Council, Fedora’s top-level community leadership and governance body. The Council is responsible for stewardship of the Fedora Project as a whole, and supports the health and growth of the Fedora Community.
