Welcome Thomas and Patrick to CentOS Project Governing Board (Karanbir Singh) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Tue, 7 Apr 2020 17:55:53 +0100 From: Karanbir Singh <kbsingh at centos.org> To: CentOS Announcements List <centos-announce at centos.org>, "The CentOS developers mailing list." <centos-devel at centos.org> Subject: [CentOS-announce] Welcome Thomas and Patrick to CentOS Project Governing Board Message-ID: <4bac266d-6ab6-0f81-47fe-dcd77d65ae57 at centos.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Hi, The CentOS Governing Board of Directors is pleased to appoint two new Directors to be added to the Governing Board, effective 8th April 2020: Thomas Oulevey [1] and Patrick Riehecky [2]. The community will instantly recognise both from their long standing and well established support for the CentOS Project over the years, initially as consumers and community participants, and in more recent times as active across various initiatives in and around the project space. Over the last sixteen years the CentOS project has established itself as a critical component in the open source ecosystem online. In order to maintain this leading role and help drive success for the wider open source ecosystem, we are moving to a more contributor-centric model. A key part of enabling this goal is to evolve our transparent governance. Pat and Thomas have shown keen interest in participating in this specific endeavour, and we are excited to welcome them to the team, helping us get there. Thomas (alphacc) works in the Controls group within the CERN Beams department [3]. He has contributed to the CentOS Project since 2012, as a member of the infrastructure team. He helped to bootstrap a few Special Interest Groups, helped the QA team with reports, and now mainly designs and improves the Community Build Service [4]. Thomas?s sponsor on the Board is Mike McLean, who will help oversee his transition to project leadership. Patrick (jcpunk) works at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory [5]. He is part of the Scientific Linux team [6] and works on systems that perform Data Acquisition for various experiments at Fermilab. Although a long time member of the community, formally Pat began working with the CentOS Community when Fermilab decided to use CentOS 8 [7] as its EL8-base platform. Pat?s sponsor is Johnny Hughes, who will help oversee his transition to project leadership. Please join me in welcoming them to the team, Regards Karanbir Singh Project Lead, The CentOS Project [1] https://wiki.centos.org/ThomasOulevey [2] https://wiki.centos.org/PatrickRiehecky [3] https://beams.cern [4] https://cbs.centos.org [5] https://beams.cern [6] https://www.scientificlinux.org/about/who-makes-scientific-linux/ [7] https://listserv.fnal.gov/scripts/wa.exe?A2=SCIENTIFIC-LINUX-ANNOUNCE;11d6001.1904 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
