New project leader wears the Fedora

“Paul Frields, who has been getting his paycheck from Red Hat to
run the Fedora development Linux variant since 2008, is moving back
inside the company to work on Enterprise Linux, and an outsider
named Jared Smith is being brought in as the new Fedora Project
Leader.

“Frields joined Red Hat in February 2008, replacing Max Spevack,
another Red Hat employee who ran the open source Linux development
product from February 2006 until Frields took over. Smith will take
over the FPL position (which is a full-time job with a Red Hat
paycheck) to steer the development of Fedora 14, something that
Frields already got the ball rolling on.”
