Questions
What is your background in Fedora? What have you worked on and what are you doing now?
I’ve worked as ambassador for a long time, also I worked with commops, marketing, I was also member of the Mindshare Committee, and representative in the Council. Right now I’m working in the i3 Spin, and I’m starting y first package, also I’m an infra apprentice.
Please elaborate on the personal “Why” which motivates you to be a candidate for Mindshare.
The Mindshare Committee was created with the intention of reunite all non technical teams, and improve the communication between the non technical and the technical parts of Fedora. Today I feel like Ambassadors are lost, Design team is doing an awesome work, CommOps have suffered several re-structurations and the communication is as broken as it can be. I want to contribute in create that bridge again and more: I want to contribute in creating a real bridge between users and the Fedora Project.
How would you improve Mindshare Committee visibility and awareness in the Fedora community?
By being present. One thing that you can feel is that every contributor is on their own, only some SIGs and the Design team are seen as teams and not a person alone. By making the teams to be able to project the work as a team, the community can see Mindshare as a committee that can help them to accomplish their goals.
What part of Fedora do you think needs the most attention from the Mindshare Committee during your term?
CommOps wihtout a doubt.
