페도라 프로젝트 지도자

페도라 프로젝트 지도자(또는 FPL)는 페도라 내에서 발생하는 모든 일에 대해 궁극적으로 책임을 지며, 특히 Red Hat과 페도라의 관계(또는 그 반대의 경우)를 유지하는 일을 담당합니다. 이들은 페도라의 대표, CEO, 의장, 두려움 없는 리더, 뭐라고 부르든 상관없어요. 그러나 프로젝트 리더는 독재자자, 자애로운 사람이 아닙니다. FPL이 Fedora Council의 의장입니다.

Jef Spaleta is the current Fedora Project Leader.

Jef has more than a decade of experience in the technology industry; as software engineer, open source contributor, IoT hardware developer, operations, and developer advocate. Prior to entering the technology industry as a paid professional, he was a plasma physics researcher. First in a Princeton lab work with fusion energy relevant experiments in New Jersey as a graduate student, and then pretty much everywhere but a lab building radars studying ionospheric plasmas as part of the SuperDARN international collaboration while living in Alaska. During his period as an academic researcher, he also was involved in the fedora.us repository as a contributor, which susequently merged with Red Hat’s effort to build what became the Fedora Project. Jef was even an elected Fedora Board member (the thing that pre-dated the Council) briefly before his trips to Antartica and elsewhere made it impossible for him to continue actively contributing to Fedora. Now he’s back serving the Fedora community after some time away.

He also curls..something he picked up in Alaska as a way to stay sane in the long winters there.
