CentOS is excited to welcome David Duncan to the Board of Directors.
The CentOS Board is made up of 10 members, nominated by the community and appointed by a vote of the board. Thomas Oulevey recently decided to step down. We'd like to thank Thomas for his many years of work on the Board.
David Duncan is a prominent and respected member of the CentOS community with a deep background in open source. He has been a valuable contributor to the project for many years, with contributions to the Cloud SIG and Hyperscale SIG, as well as many contributions to Fedora.
As a long-time open source contributor and current Principal Architect of Partner Solutions Architecture at AWS, David brings extensive experience in both upstream and downstream Linux ecosystems. David has worked on publishing CentOS and Fedora Cloud Images on AWS Marketplace, managing Fedora Cloud Editions, and implementing strategic services like Red Hat OpenShift on AWS. His experience creating strategic initiatives for Linux distribution partners and managing complex stakeholder relationships will bring great insights to the CentOS Baord of Directores.
Really nice to see David Duncan joining the CentOS Board. Open-source projects grow stronger when people with deep community experience step in to guide them. It actually reminds me of how in strategy titles—or even in something lighter like null’s brawl<a href="https://getnullsbrawl.org/">—</a>having the right mix of contributors and roles makes the whole team more effective. Excited to see where CentOS goes with this leadership.
