As many of you are aware, I have been serving as the Community Manager for the CentOS project for the past 3 years, having been appointed to this position by the Board in the April 2018 board meeting.
Over the coming weeks, I will be moving to a different position (still within the Open Source Programs Office at Red Hat, but doing something different) and Shaun McCance will be moving into this role.
Shaun has extensive experience in open source projects, including decades with the Gnome Foundation. He works for the Red Hat OSPO, and is based in Ohio, USA.
The past 3 years have been challenging, interesting, difficult, and rewarding. And although the past year has been very, very hard, I am very proud of what we have accomplished together as a community:
- Community-nominated board (see my next email for more about this!)
- Public/Open board meetings
- New SIGs! (Automotive, Infrastructure, kmods, Hyperscale, Feature
Request)
- Contribution path via CentOS Stream
- Code of conduct
- etc
So, thank you all for your support and encouragement over the past 3 years, and for participating in all of the above initiatives and so much more.
And please welcome Shaun, and give him just as much (or more!) encouragement as he takes on this important role and helps guide the community.
